Abstract:Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) has emerged as an important tool for the preparation of architecturally unique macromolecules from cyclic olefins. A wide variety of catalytic systems, ranging from simple metal salts to highly sophisticated alkylidene metal complexes, have been used for the achievement of this synthetically useful transformation. Especially, tremendous efforts have been directed toward the ruthenium-based catalytic systems as well as the understanding of their reactivity patterns.… Show more
A tandem isomerization/hydroarylation reaction of oxabenzonorbornadienes and arylacetylenes was realized by using AgOTf as catalyst. 1,1‐Diarylethylenes could be easily generated as products in moderate to good yields in this tandem reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
