Ruthenium Carbene Complexes with N,N‘-Bis(mesityl)imidazol-2-ylidene Ligands: RCM Catalysts of Extended Scope
TL;DR: The ruthenium carbene complexes 3a,b bearing imidazol-2-ylidene ligands constitute excellent precatalysts for ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions allowing the formation of tri- and tetrasubstituted cycloalkenes and their reactivity was found to be highly dependent on the reaction medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative investigation of ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts bearing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands.

TL;DR: From comparative studies it is deduced that no single catalyst is optimal for different types of applications, and the search for the most reactive catalyst for a specific transformation is facilitated by IR thermography allowing a rapid and semi-quantitative ranking among a given set of catalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances and adventures in amination reactions of olefins and alkynes
Matthias Beller,Claudia Breindl,Martin Eichberger,Christian G. Hartung,Jayasree Seayad,Oliver R. Thiel,Annegret Tillack,Harald Trauthwein +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of transition metal-catalyzed amination of olefins and alkynes is presented. Special emphasis is given to rhodium-calyzed oxidative aminations of aromatic olefs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total Synthesis of (−)‐Salicylihalamide
TL;DR: A concise total synthesis of the potent cytotoxic marine natural products salicylihalamide A and B (la, b) is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total syntheses of (S)-(-)-zearalenone and lasiodiplodin reveal superior metathesis activity of ruthenium carbene complexes with imidazol-2-ylidene ligands.
TL;DR: The synthesis of 1 via RCM is compared with an alternative approach employing a low-valent titanium-induced McMurry coupling of dialdehyde 47 for the formation of the large ring and this direct comparison clearly ends in favor of metathesis which turned out to be superior in all preparatively relevant respects.
