    Targeting an Achilles heel in olefin metathesis: A strategy for high-yield synthesis of second-generation Grubbs methylidene catalysts

    No full text
    The first clean, high-yield route is presented to methylidenes RuCl 2(L)(PCy 3)(=CH 2) (L = H 2IMes or IMes), key vectors for catalysis and deactivation in many olefin metathesis reactions. (H 2IMes = N,N′-bis(mesityl)imidazolin-2-ylidene; IMes = N,N′-bis(mesityl)imidazol-2-ylidene)
