“…Just by changing the N aryl group from DEP (2,6diethylphenyl, free rotation at RT) to DIPP (2,6diisopropylphenyl, frozen around Ru‐C CAAC bond at RT) or utilizing cyclohexyl group as R’ instead of phenyl, the fluxionality of the complexes and the thermodynamics of syn and anti ‐isomers were significantly affected. To date only a handful N alkyl substituted CAAC ruthenium metathesis catalysts were described, [ 24 , 27 ] despite the number of potential N alkyl carbene precursor salts known in the literature. [ 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ] As expected, replacing the N aryl substituents to N alkyl groups caused significant shift in the stability of different rotamers and the fluxionality of the Ru‐C CAAC bond compared to the above‐mentioned examples.…”
