The aim is to develop a safe and efficient method for creating Grubbs-type catalysts.
Utilized p-tolyl(trimethylsilyl)diazomethane as a carbyne donor reagent.
Reacted with [(p-cymene)RuCl2]2 to form a dinuclear complex.
Converted alkylidyne to carbene ligands using PCy3 or NHC.
Explored the flexibility of the process for parallel screening.
Successfully formed four-coordinate ruthenium alkylidynes with good yields.
The method showed a superior ligand and atom economy.
Exhibited flexibility suitable for reaction optimization.
