The Influence of the Anionic Counter-Ion on the Activity of Ammonium Substituted Hoveyda-Type Olefin Metathesis Catalysts in Aqueous Media

  • Conference paper
Green Metathesis Chemistry

Abstract

Polar olefin metathesis catalysts, bearing an ammonium group are presented. The electron withdrawing ammonium group not only activates the catalysts electronically, but at the same time makes the catalysts more hydrophilic. Catalysts can be therefore efficiently used not only in traditional media, such as methylene chloride and toluene, but also in technical-grade alcohols, alcohol— water mixtures and in neat water. Finally, in this overview the influence of the anionic counter-ion on the activity of ammonium substituted Hoveyda-type olefin metathesis catalysts in aqueous media is presented.

  10. For example, in a crude untreated product of the diethyl diallylmalonate RCM catalysed by 5 mol% of Grubbs I-generation catalyst the theoretical amount of Ru is 90 mg per 5 mg of product (18,000 ppm). After filtration of the crude reaction mixture, the Ru level was reduced to 59.7 ± 0.50 mg per 5 mg (12,000 ppm). Further purification of such crude metathesis products usually reduces ruthenium levels below 2,000 ppm, see ibid, and McEleney K, Allen DP, Holliday AE, Crudden CM (2006) Org Lett 8:2663
