Ruthenium Olefin Metathesis Catalysts Bearing Carbohydrate-Based N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

Abstract

Ru-based olefin metathesis catalysts containing carbohydrate-derived NHCs from glucose and galactose were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. 2D-NMR spectroscopy revealed the presence of Ru−C (benzylidene) rotamers at room temperature, and the rate of rotation was measured using magnetization transfer and VT-NMR spectroscopy. The catalysts were found to be effective at ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), ring-closing metathesis (RCM), cross-metathesis (CM), and asymmetric ring-opening cross-metathesis (AROCM) and showed surprising selectivity in both CM and AROCM.
