The synthesis, isolation, purification (routine silica gel chromatography), and spectroscopic characterization of high-energy endo stereogenic-at-Ru complex isomers, generated by ring-opening/cross-metathesis (ROCM) reaction of the corresponding exo carbenes, are disclosed. We provide experimental evidence showing that an endo isomer can undergo thermal or Brønsted acid-catalyzed polytopal rearrangement, causing conversion to the energetically favored exo carbene.
本文公开了通过相应的外消旋卡宾的开环/交叉复分解(ROCM)反应生成的高能内消旋立体中心- Ru 配合物异构体的合成、分离、纯化(常规硅胶色谱法)和光谱特性。我们提供了实验证据,表明内消旋异构体可以经历热或布朗斯台德酸催化的多面体重排,导致转化为能量上有利的外消旋卡宾。
