Novel ruthenium-based photoactive transition metal catalysts, i.e. [Ru(CF3CO2)2(p-cymene)(IMes)] ( 2 ), [Ru(CF3CO2)2(PhNC)3(IMes)] ( 3 ), [Ru(CF3CO2)2(p-cymene) (IMesH2)] ( 4 ), [Ru(CF3CO2)2(PhNC))3(IMesH2)] ( 5 ), have been prepared and investigated for their use as initiators for the thermally and photo-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization (photo-ROMP). The polymerization behavior of the novel systems for both norborn-2-ene and functional monomers, such as norborn-5-ene- 2-ylmethanol, has been investigated. 相似文献
A large-scale synthesis of known Ru olefin metathesis catalyst VII featuring an unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand with one 2,5-diisopropylphenyl (DIPP) and one thiophenylmethylene N-substituent is reported. The optimised procedure does not require column chromatography in any step and allows for preparation of up to 0.5 kg batches of the catalyst from simple precursors. The application profile of the obtained catalyst was studied in environmentally friendly dimethyl carbonate (DMC). Although VII exhibited low efficiency in cross-metathesis (CM) with electron-deficient partners, good to excellent results were noted for substrates featuring easy to isomerise C−C double bonds. This includes polyfunctional substrates of medicinal chemistry interest, such as analogues of psychoactive 5F-PB-22 and NM-2201 and two PDE5 inhibitors—Sildenafil and Vardenafil. Finally, a larger scale ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of a Vardenafil derivative was conducted in DMC, allowing for straightforward isolation of the expected product (23 g) in high yield and with low Ru contamination level (7.7 ppm). 相似文献
Summary: Following the discovery of bimetallic ruthenium scaffold ( 1 ), two new homobimetallic ruthenium-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes ( 2 , 3 ) were synthesized and found highly suitable for promoting ROMP, RCM, and CM reactions. Results from this study indicated that the ethylene ligand was highly labile and that adding a small amount of a terminal alkyne to the reaction media had a beneficial influence on the metathetical activity. These observations prompted us to further investigate the role of the alkyne co-catalyst. Thus, homobimetallic ruthenium-arene complexes bearing vinylidene ( 4 , 5 ), allenylidene ( 6 ), and indenylidene ( 7 ) ligands were prepared from complex 1 and propargyl alcohol derivatives. Their catalytic activities were probed in several types of olefin metathesis reactions, and they were found valuable intermediates for the safe and efficient one-pot synthesis of the Hoveya–Grubbs isopropoxybenzylidene catalyst ( 8 ). 相似文献
Summary: Advances in design of latent ruthenium phenylindenylidene catalysts bearing salicylaldimine ligands for ring-opening metathesis polymerization are described. The presence of the substituents in ortho position in N-aryl ring of salicylaldimine ligand has been found to be the main factor determining the catalyst stability. The best of the studied catalysts after acid activation offers activity comparable to that of the dichloride systems in ring-opening metathesis polymerization of DCPD, while maintaining very high stability in the monomer solution. 相似文献
Summary: Precise syntheses of soluble star polymers containing a sugar residue could be attained by adopting sequential ring-opening metathesis polymerizations of norbornene, 1,4,4a,5,8,8a-hexahydro-1,4,5,8-exo-endo-dimethanonaphtalene, and then 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-galacto-pyranos-6-O-yl 5-norbornene-2-carboxylate using Mo(CHCMe2Ph)(N-2,6-iPr2C6H3)(OtBu)2. The resultant polymers possessed uniform molecular weight distributions, and the Mn values could be varied by the monomer/Mo molar ratios; their spherical images were observed in the TEM micrographs. 相似文献
Summary: Siliceous mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41, MCM-48 and SBA-15 and organised mesoporous alumina represent progressive supports for new heterogeneous catalysts for olefin metathesis and metathesis polymerization. In combination with Mo and Re oxides they provide catalysts of considerably higher activity in comparison with those based on conventional silica and alumina. Immobilization of Mo and Ru alkylidenes on these materials led to the highly active and selective catalysts with negligible leaching of transition metal. 相似文献
Readily accessible and easy‐to‐handle Ru complexes capable of generating all‐Z polynorbornene and polynorbornadiene by ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) with controllable selectivity, ranging from ≈50 to ≥95 % syndiotactic, are introduced. It is demonstrated that the rate of non‐metathesis based polytopal isomerization and levels of syndiotacticity may be fine‐tuned by the adjustment of monomer concentration and catalyst's steric and electronic characteristics. 相似文献
A series of pentavalent tantalum and niobium complexes with aryloxy ligands was prepared, and their catalytic behavior for the ROMP of norbornene was studied in the presence of an alkylaluminum cocatalyst. Tantalum complexes 1 – 4 showed very high activity for the ROMP of NBE in combination with iBu3Al to give high‐molecular‐weight polymers. In contrast, the niobium complexes 5 and 6 , as well as NbCl5, exhibited very high activity upon activation with Me3Al to give high‐molecular‐weight polymers.
Summary: The ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclooctyne was studied was studied in the presence of catalytic amounts of the tungsten alkylidyne complexes [RCW(NImtBu){OCMe(CF3)2}2] ( 1a: R = CMe3, 1b: R = Ph). The resulting polymers show relatively narrow polydispersities with the PDI ranging from 1.2 to 2.4. Treatment of 1b with cyclooctyne in dilute toluene or hexane solution afforded only low molecular weight oligomers. The mass spectra of these oligomers indicate the existence of macrocycles of the formula [C(CH2)6C]n (n = 3–9). In contrast, reactions at high substrate concentration led to mixtures of cyclic oligomers and linear polymers, which is probably a result of ring-chain equilibria, established in agreement with the Jacobson-Stockmayer theory of macrocyclization. In contrast, treatment of neat cyclooctyne with a catalytic amount of the catalyst produced medium molecular weight polymers in good yields. 相似文献
Ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene catalyzed by niobium(V) N,N‐dialkylcarbamates Nb(O2CNR2)5, R = Et ( 1 ), Me ( 2 ) was studied in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO) as a cocatalyst. These novel catalytic systems resulted very active in chlorobenzene: 1 in the presence of methylaluminoxane catalyzes the ROMP of norbornene with the highest activity (29 000 kg of polymer/mol of catalyst × hour) never reported up to now for niobium catalysts. The high productivity appears particularly attractive considering that these precursors are rather cheap and easy to synthesize and to handle. Polynorbornenes were characterized by FT‐IR and NMR spectroscopies and by DSC calorimetry. A new FT‐IR method for the swift determination of the cis/trans content of the polymer is presented.
AlCl–salen (salen=N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine dianion) catalysts supported onto macrocyclic oligomeric cyclooctene through linkers of varying length and flexibility have been developed to demonstrate the importance of support architecture on catalyst activity. The role played by the support and the linkers in dictating catalyst activity was found to vary for reactions with contrasting mechanisms, such as the bimetallic cyanide and the monometallic indole addition reactions. While the flexible support significantly enhanced the cyanide addition reaction, most likely by improving salen–salen interactions in the transition state, it lowered the reaction rate for the monometallic indole reaction. For both reactions, significant increase in catalytic activity was observed for catalysts with the longest linkers. The effect of the flexible macrocyclic support on catalysis was further exemplified by the enhanced activity of the supported catalyst in comparison with its unsupported analogue for the conjugate addition of tetrazoles, which is known to be catalyzed by dimeric μ-oxo–salen catalysts. Our studies with the cyclooctene supported AlCl–salen catalysts provides significant insights for rationally designing highly efficient AlCl–salen catalysts for a diverse set of reactions. 相似文献
In this contribution, we describe the syntheses, characterization, and properties of ABA, CBA and CBC triblock copolymers with glassy (A), elastomeric (B), and crystalline (C) blocks. These three hard-soft-hard triblock copolymers were prepared via living ring-opening metathesis copolymerization by use of Grubbs third generation catalyst through one-pot sequential monomer addition and subsequent hydrogenation. These hard-soft-hard triblock copolymers based thermoplastic elastomers have been analyzed by proton NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), IR, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of these triblock copolymers were also measured by monotonic and step cyclic tensile test. Compared with the ABA triblock copolymer, the CBC triblock copolymer containing highly crystalline hard end-blocks shows enhanced tensile strength and the best elastic recovery of 90.8%. The hybrid CBA triblock copolymer displays much improved elongation, which is almost twice as long as the other two TPEs, and excellent elastic recovery of 87.0%. 相似文献
A modular and flexible strategy towards the synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands bearing Brønsted base tags has been proposed and then adopted in the preparation of two tagged NHC ligands bearing rests of isonicotinic and 4-(dimethylamino)benzoic acids. Such tagged NHC ligands represent an attractive starting point for the synthesis of olefin metathesis ruthenium catalysts tagged in non-dissociating ligands. The influence of the Brønsted basic tags on the activity of such obtained olefin metathesis catalysts has been studied. 相似文献
