REACTIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES

摘要

Described herein are compounds and methods for catalyzing metathesis reactions. The compounds described herein are ruthenium complexes bearing cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC) ligands. The ruthenium complexes bearing cyclic alkyl amino carbene ligands may be used for catalyzing metathesis reactions, such as ethenolysis and alkenolysis reactions.
