Model Compounds of Ruthenium−Alkene Intermediates in Olefin Metathesis Reactions
Abstract
The development of a model system to study ruthenium−olefin complexes relevant to the mechanism of olefin metathesis is reported. Upon addition of 1,2-divinylbenzene to (H_2IMes)(py_2)(Cl)_2Ru CHPh (H_2IMes = 1,3-dimesityl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene), two ruthenium−olefin adducts are formed. On the basis of ^1H NMR spectroscopy experiments and X-ray crystallographic analysis, these complexes are assigned as side-bound isomers in which the olefin and H_2IMes ligands are coordinated cis to each other. The dynamic interconversion of these two ruthenium complexes was determined to have a barrier of 19.1 ± 0.1 kcal/mol.
