Journal ArticleDOI
Ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions of 2-substituted norbornenes.
Robert W. Jordan,William Tam +1 more
TL;DR: The effect of remote substituents on ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions of 2-substituted norbornenes has been investigated and regioselectivities of 1.2:1 to 7.5:1 were observed with various 2- Substitutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions between bicyclic alkenes and alkynyl halides.
TL;DR: Ru-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions between norbornadiene and alkynyl halides were found to occur in moderate to good yields and can be transformed into a variety of products that are difficult or impossible to obtain via directcycloaddition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions between 7-substituted norbornadienes and alkynes: an experimental and theoretical study.
TL;DR: The results on the relative rate of different 7-substituted norbornadienes in the Ru-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions with an alkyne indicated that the reactivity of the alkene component decreases dramatically as the alkenes becomes more electron deficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study on the reactivity of the alkene component in ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions between an alkene and an alkyne. Part 1.

TL;DR: The results on the relative rate of different 7-substituted norbornadienes in the Ru-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions with an alkyne indicated that the reactivity of the alkene component decreases dramatically as the alkenes becomes more electron deficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study on the reactivity of the alkyne component in ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions between an alkene and an alkyne.
TL;DR: It was found that chelation effect of propargylic alcohols greatly enhanced the reactivity of the alkyne component in the ruthenium-catalyzed [2 + 2] cycloadditions.
