Grubbs 2nd Generation Catalyst Generally more active compared to 1st generation catalysts and with a broader substrate scope, including sterically demanding or deactivated olefins such as 1,1-disubstituted olefins and α,β-unsaturated carbonyls
Application
Grubbs Catalyst® M204 can be used as a catalyst for ring-closing metathesis (RCM), cross-metathesis, and ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). It is also used to synthesize trisubstituted olefins with excellent functional group tolerance and selectivity via cross-metathesis and ring closing metathesis reactions.
It can also be used as a catalyst:
• To synthesize coumarins from phenolic compounds via RCM.
• To cleave secondary (E)-allyl vic-diols to aldehydes.
