A convenient method to remove ruthenium byproducts from olefin metathesis reactions using polymer-bound triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO)

Abstract: Ruthenium byproducts from ring-closing metathesis reactions can be removed by refluxing the crude reaction mixture with resin-bound triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) in toluene or by stirring with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and silica gel at room temperature. Residual levels of ruthenium can be achieved that are as low as 0.04 microg per 5 mg of product when a combination of TPPO, DMSO, and silica gel is used. The polymer-bound TPPO retained its efficiency after being recycled six times.

“…Even trace amounts of these organometallic complexes can lead to olefin isomerization, product decomposition and cell toxicity. Several relevant purification methods have already been explored, including the use of tris-(hydroxymethyl)phosphine, triphenylphosphine oxide, and dimethyl sulfoxide3234. However, these procedures require multiple reagents, subsequent column chromatography, and relatively long exposure times for maximal efficacy.…”

“…Attempts using the method developed by Georg involving polymer-bound triphenylphosphine oxide unfortunately did not provide a product that was much cleaner than we had originally isolated. 151 Removal with activated carbon leads to the same unfavorable result. 152 The problem was finally resolved by use of Varian strong cation exchange chromatography.…”

“…Several ruthenium scavengers are described in the literature, for example, P(CH 2 OH) 3 , Pb(OAc) 4 , DMSO or triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), polymer‐bound chelating phosphines or TPPO, functionalized mesoporous silicas, mercaptonicotinic acid, di(ethylene glycol) vinyl ether, H 2 O 2 , and silica‐based heterogeneous particles . Most of these compounds are commercially available, but none of them satisfy all of the above conditions.…”
