Abstract
The efficient Z-selective cross-metathesis between acrylamides and common terminal olefins has been developed by the use of novel cyclometalated ruthenium catalysts with bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. Superior reactivity and stereoselectivity are realized for the first time in this challenging transformation, allowing streamlined access to an important class of cis-Michael acceptors from readily available feedstocks. The kinetic preference for cross-metathesis is enabled by a pivalate anionic ligand, and the origin of this effect is elucidated by density functional theory calculations.
