1 lefin Metathesis MP: ing-opening metathesis polymerization Thermodynamically favored for 3,4, 8, larger ring systems Bridging groups (bicyclic olefins) make ΔG polymerization more favorable as a result of strain. MP n L n u= MP L n u= n CM:ing closing Metathesis CM L n u= dilute + 2 C=C 2 The reaction can be driven to the right by the loss of ethylene igh dilution conditions favor CM vs. olefin polymerization. The development of well-defined metathesis catalysts tolerant of many functional groups yet reactive toward a diverse array of substrates has led to to rapid aceptance of the CM reaction as a powerful tool for C-C bond formation and macrocyclization. Where the thermodynamics of ring closure are unfavorable, olefin polymerization takes place.

Grubb s 2- and 3-u have high reactivity in MP and CM and show a remarkable tolerance to a wide variety of functional groups asily prepared: u 2 (P 3 ) = C 2 2 P 3 u P 3 P(c-ex) 3 C u little sensitivity to air or moisture requires electron-rich ligands (P(c-ex) 3 )for increased activity JACS, 1993, 9858

Alkylidenes 5-u and 6-u are water-soluble u-based metathesis catalysts that are stable for days in methanol or water at 45 C. Although 3-u is highly active for CM of dienes in organic solvents, it has no catalytic activity in protic media: t 2 C C 2 t 5 mol% 3-u 25 C t 2 C C 2 t solvent: C % C 3 <5%

ACI, 1997, Although interactions that increase substrate rigidity (i.e. intramolecular hydrogen bonding) and reduce the entropic cost of cyclization can be beneficial in CM, it is not a strict requirement for macrocyclization by CM.
