Key Points

The aim is to synthesize a Z-selective ruthenium complex using a cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene ligand.
Synthesis of the ruthenium complex
Intramolecular C(sp3)-H activation
Focus on N-adamantyl substituent
Successful preparation of Z-selective ruthenium complex
Significant catalytic reactivity observed in olefin metathesis
Demonstrated selectivity in product formation

Implication

Research reports on a new ruthenium complex that selectively catalyzes Z-olefin metathesis, indicating advancements in catalytic efficiency.

Abstract

The synthesis of a Z-selective ruthenium complex featuring a cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligand is reported. Its preparation proceeds through a selective intramolecular C(sp3)-H activation at the N-adamantyl substituent of the CAAC...
