The present invention provides compositions comprising metal complexes, and related methods. In some embodiments, metal complexes of the invention may be useful as catalysts for chemical reactions, including metathesis reactions, wherein the catalysts exhibit enhanced activity and stereoselectivity. In some embodiments, the invention may advantageously provide metal complexes comprising a stereogenic metal atom. Such metal complexes may be useful in enantioselective catalysis.

A comparative study of chiral Mo- and Ru-based catalysts to promote enantioselective synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted pyrans and piperidines through asymmetric ring-opening/cross-metathesis (AROM/CM) reactions is presented. These studies demonstrate the cri

An efficient method for enantioselective synthesis of highly functionalized pyrans (up to 98% ee) through Ru-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening metathesis/cross-metathesis is described. Reactions are promoted by a recyclable chiral Ru-chloride or a new chiral Ru-iodide complex; the latter catalyst is less efficient but gives rise to significantly higher levels of enantioselectivity. Catalytic reactions can be performed in undistilled solvent and with a wide range of substrates, including those that contain secondary and tertiary alcohols. Representative regioselective functionalizations that highlight the utility of the catalytic method are also presented. Copyright
