Highly Z‑Selective and Enantioselective Ring-Opening/Cross-Metathesis Catalyzed by a Resolved Stereogenic-at-Ru Complex

  • 1. ROR icon California Institute of Technology

Abstract

The synthesis of a ruthenium complex that catalyzes Z-selective (up to 98% Z) asymmetric ring-opening/cross-metathesis with high enantioselectivity (up to 95% ee) is reported. The synthesis of the catalyst features the resolution of a chelating N-heterocyclic carbene complex by ligand substitution with a chiral carboxylate.
