Ruthenium–Amido Complexes: Synthesis, Structure, and Catalytic Activity in Olefin Metathesis

Abstract: Unprecedented amido derivatives of the first‐, second‐, and third‐generation Grubbs ruthenium catalysts were prepared, characterized, and tested in ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) of model dienes. In the ruthenium–amide (formally: 2‐ruthenaindole) form, these complexes exhibit nearly no activity in RCM. However, a dramatic increase of activity was observed upon in situ activation with an ethereal solution of HCl (see figure).

“…The same switchability in the presence of Lewis acids was observed during a collaboration with Pietraszuk et al on Ru complexes bearing amidobenzylidene chelating ligands (Figure , [Ru‐11] and [Ru‐12] ) . In this preliminary study the addition of Me 3 SiCl or HCl caused a significant increase in catalytic activity in two RCM reactions.…”

“…With styrenes 3a – 3c in hand the reaction with [Ru‐3] (commercially available Umicore M31 ruthenium indenylidene complex) was performed in toluene at 80 °C (Scheme ). Since previous studies showed that the addition of an excess of pyridine to the reaction mixture leads to higher yields, the same strategy was applied here. New complexes were isolated by column chromatography and characterised by standard analytical techniques.…”

“…Recently, we reported the synthesis of chelating ruthenium sulfonamides ( 4 , Figure 2),7a a new family in the kingdom of ruthenium‐based metathesis catalysts bearing altered anionic ligands 8. These complexes exhibit nearly no activity in metathesis reactions; however, they can be easily “turned on” by the addition of some Brønsted acids.…”
