TL;DR: In this article, neutral salicylaldiminato Ni(II) complexes have been synthesized, and their structure has been confirmed by an X-ray analysis of complex 4e.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of undesirable isomerization during olefin metathesis.
TL;DR: 1,4-Benzoquinones have been found to prevent olefin isomerization of a number of allylic ethers and long-chain aliphatic alkenes during ruthenium-catalyzed Olefin metathesis reactions, and this mild, inexpensive, and effective method increases the synthetic utility of olefins via improvement of overall product yield and purity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Functionalized Olefins by Cross and Ring-Closing Metatheses
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-step synthesis of α-functionalized olefins by intermolecular cross-metathesis and intramolecular ring-closing metathesis using ruthenium alkylidene 3 was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
An 'Endless' Route to Cyclic Polymers
TL;DR: A new synthetic route to cyclic polymers has been developed in which the ends of growing polymer chains remain attached to a metal complex throughout the entire polymerization process, eliminating the need for linear polymeric precursors and high dilution, and removing the barrier to producing large quantities of pure cyclic material.
