Abstract

Abstract Derivatives of the Hoveyda–Grubbs complex bearing S-, Br-, I-, and N-coordinating naphthalene ligands were synthesized and characterized with NMR and X-ray studies. Depending on the arrangement of the coordinating sites on the naphthalene core, the isomeric catalysts differ in activity in model metathesis reactions. In particular, complexes with the Ru [DOUBLE BOND] CH bond adjacent to the second aromatic ring of the ligand ...
