Self-Supported Polymeric Ruthenium Complexes as Olefin Metathesis Catalysts in Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds

New ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts containing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) connected by a linker tether to a benzylidene ligand were studied. Such obtained self-chelated Hoveyda–Grubbs type complexes existed in the form of an organometallic polymer but could still catalyze olefin metathesis a...

description New ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts containing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) connected by a linker tether to a benzylidene ligand were studied. Such obtained self-chelated Hoveyda–Grubbs type complexes existed in the form of an organometallic polymer but could still catalyze olefin metathesis after being dissolved in an organic solvent. Although these polymeric catalysts exhibited a slightly lower activity compared to structurally related nonpolymeric catalysts, they were successfully used in a number of ring-closing metathesis reactions leading to a variety of heterocyclic compounds, including biologically and pharmacologically related analogues of cathepsin K inhibitor and sildenafil (Viagra™). In the last case, a good solubility of a polymeric catalyst in toluene allowed the separation of the product from the catalyst via simple filtration.
