The unsubstituted tungstacyclobutane species, W(NAr)(C(3)H(6))(Me(2)Pyr)(OR*) (2), was isolated by treating the mixture of diastereomers of 1 with ethylene. An X-ray study revealed 2 to have a trigonal bipyramidal structure in which the imido and phenoxide ligands are in axial positions. A variety of NMR experiments were carried out on 1 and 2. The major findings are the following: (i) the methylidene ligands in the two diastereomers of 1 rotate readily about the W horizontal lineC bond (k = 2-7 s(-1) at 22 degrees C); (ii) NMR studies are consistent with 2 breaking up to give an intermediate alkylidene/ethylene complex, (R)- and (S)-W(CH(2))(C(2)H(4)); and (iii) the ethylene in the (R)-W(CH(2))(C(2)H(4)) intermediate can rotate about the W-ethylene bond axis at approximately the same rate as 2 re-forms or ethylene is lost to give 1. Compound 1 reacts with trimethylphosphine to yield (R)-1(PMe(3)). Two intermediate PMe(3) adducts were observed and found to convert to (R)-1(PMe(3)) in an intramolecular fashion with an average rate constant at 5 degrees C of approximately 1.4 x 10(-4) s(-1). Both neophylidene (4) and methylidene (5) MAP species containing 2,3,5,6-tetraphenylphenoxide ligand also were prepared. Compound 5 can be heated to 80 degrees C, where methylidene rotation about the W=C bond is facile and observable in a variable-temperature (1)H NMR spectrum. A (1)H-(1)H EXSY spectrum of 5 in benzene-d(6) at 20 degrees C showed that the methylidene protons are exchanging with k = 90 s(-1). A structure of 5(THF) showed it to be a square pyramid with the methylidene ligand in the apical position and THF coordinated trans to the imido…

The replacement of one amido group by a siloxy group from the surface of silica dramatically increased the activity of the Mo complex in olefin metathesis, and tuning the imido ligands allows the reactivity to be increased by at least one order of magnitude so that an overall turnover of 231 000 can be achieved in the metathesis of propene. Additionally, ethyl oleate can also be converted into a thermodynamic equilibrated mixture in 8 h with only 0.02% of catalyst.

All thiolate complexes were significantly slower (up to ∼10× slower) for the metathesis homocoupling of 1-octene or polymerization of 2,3-dicarbomethoxynorbornene, and none of them was Z-selective. The slower rates could be attributed to the greater σ-donating ability of a thiophenoxide versus the analogous phenoxide and consequently a higher electron density at the metal in the thiophenoxide complexes.

This fully characterized material is a very active and stable alkene metathesis catalyst, thus allowing loadings as low as 50 ppm in the metathesis of internal alkenes. [(≡SiO)W(=O)(=CHCMe2Ph)(dAdPO)] also efficiently catalyzes the homocoupling of terminal alkenes, with turnover numbers exceeding 75,000 when ethylene is constantly removed to avoid the formation of the less reactive square-based pyramidal metallacycle resting state.

The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h in a 0 °C bath, and the reaction was quenched by addition of HCl in diethyl ether (4 mL, 1.0 M). Most of the solvent was removed at 15 Torr (water aspirator) and 45 °C. The viscous oil was dried at 100 mTorr at 50 ...
