PSPIE IGADS Widely commercially available Difficult to synthesize Few guiding mechanistic principles METATESIS CATAYSTS Few commercially available ften simple to synthesize Based strongly on mechanism The key to time and fiscal efficiency is selection of the proper catalyst

6 Selection of a tathesis Catalyst First, one should ensure that the substrate has been optimized for commercially available catalysts After optimization, a catalyst to be synthesized should be rationally determined Both processes require an intimate working knowledge of the mechanism of olefin metathesis P 3 k 1 P 3 + P 3 k 2 + olefin olefin 1 k 1 k 2 k 2 k 2 k 3 k 3 1 k 3 k 3 Sanford, M.

S.; ove, J. A.; Grubbs,.. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 6543.

8 bservations on lefin Binding 2 nd generation catalyst ( = 2 IMES) k 1 /k 2 is times lower (in favor of olefin binding) Somewhat surprisingly, is fairly independent of phosphine nature ( vs. P 3 = factor of 2) For comparison, relative rates of phosphine dissociation for P 3 / differ by 70-fold P 3 k 1 P 3 + P 3 k 2 + olefin olefin 1 k 1 k 2 k 2 k 2 k 3 k 3 1 k 3 k 3 Sanford, M.

14 Stage 2: Selection of a Catalyst Even perfect substrate/reaction condition optimization may not solve every metathesis problem A number of easily synthesized catalysts have been recently reported, based on one of three improvements: rapid initiation, lessened steric demand or improved catalyst lifetime. ne must identify which of these factors will yield the greatest influence on reaction outcome P 3 k 1 P 3 + P 3 k 2 + olefin olefin 1 k 1 k 2 k 2 k 2 k 3 k 3 1 k 3 k 3 Sanford, M.
