  7. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. Schrock’s Catalyst.

  8. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. Syn:Anti Alkylidenes in Mo-Catalysts. Angle is approx. 180o because of donation of N lone pair into a d-orbital of Mo. Syn - isomer is more stable because of an agostic interaction between the C-H bond of the alkylidene and the metal center.

  9. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. The Chemistry of Schrock’s Catalyst: Decomposition. Catalyst is highly susceptible to intermolecular decomposition pathways.

  10. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. The Chemistry of Schrock’s Catalyst: Decomposition. Bulky imido ligands function to limit intermolecular decomposition of the catalyst 1. Alkoxide can vary greatly but must be large and bulky enough to limit intermolecular decomposition. 2. Electron withdrawing alkoxides also influence the alkylidene geometry.

  11. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. The Chemistry of Schrock’s Catalyst: Polymerization. Polymerization (22 oC, PhMe) of NBDF6 Polymer with high cis content (~ 95 %). McConville, D. H.; Wolf, J. R.; Schrock, R.R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 4413 – 4414.

  12. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. The Chemistry of Schrock’s Catalyst: Polymerization. Polymerization (22 oC, PhMe) of NBDF6 Polymer with high cis content (~ 95 %). Polymerization (22 oC, PhMe) of NBDF6 Polymer with high trans content (~ 99 %). McConville, D. H.; Wolf, J. R.; Schrock, R.R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 4413 – 4414.

  13. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. Syn:Anti Alkylidenes in Mo-Catalysts. Electron withdrawing groups strengthen the pseudo-triple bond between the imido ligand and the metal center. Syn - isomer is more stable because of an agostic interaction between the C-H bond of the alkylidene and the metal center.

  14. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. Syn:Anti Alkylidenes in Mo-Catalysts. In turn, this hinders rotation about the alkylidene. Electron withdrawing groups strengthen the pseudo-triple bond between the imido ligand and the metal center. Consequently, the anti-isomer is estimated to be 105 times more reactive towards NBDF6 than the syn-isomer. Syn - isomer is more stable because of an agostic interaction between the C-H bond of the alkylidene and the metal center.

  15. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. The Chemistry of Schrock’s Catalyst: Polymerization. McConville, D. H.; Wolf, J. R.; Schrock, R.R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 4413 – 4414. Polymerization (22 oC, PhMe) of NBDF6 Polymer with high cis content (~ 95 %). Electron withdrawing groups (including phenols) slow rotation enough that syn-isomer is the only one available for reaction! Polymer with high trans content (~ 99 %). Electron rich groups (alkyls) speed up rotation enough to compete with polymerization, hence the anti is the reacting isomer!

  16. 1. Development of Metathesis Catalysts and the Jump to Asymmetry. Alkylidene Geometry is Essential for Asymmetric Induction. McConville, D. H.; Wolf, J. R.; Schrock, R.R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 4413 – 4414. Approach from the si face Approach from the re face

Soc. 1993, 115, 4413 – 4414. Approach from the si face Approach from the re face Approach from the re face Let’s imagine that in a chiral environment, attack from the front face is favoured.

Soc. 1993, 115, 4413 – 4414. Approach from the si face Approach from the re face Approach from the re face Approach from the si face Let’s imagine that in a chiral environment, attack from the front face is favoured.
