A study of the influence of eight diverse solvents on a Grubbs II-catalysed ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction reveals a complex dependence of the different reaction steps on the solvent and suggests acetic acid as a useful solvent for RCM reactions. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

A quaternary ammonium Hoveyda-Grubbs olefin metathesis pre-catalyst has been reversibly immobilized on sulphonic acid-functionalised silica-coated iron oxide magnetic particles to affect ring closing metathesis with easy removal, reuse and regeneration.

The development of selective olefin metathesis catalysts is crucial to achieving new synthetic pathways. Herein, we show that cis-diiodo/sulfur-chelated ruthenium benzylidenes do not react with strained cycloalkenes and internal olefins, but can effectively catalyze metathesis reactions of terminal dienes. Surprisingly, internal olefins may partake in olefin metathesis reactions once the ruthenium methylidene intermediate has been generated. This unexpected behavior allows the facile formation of strained cis-cyclooctene by the RCM reaction of 1,9-undecadiene. Moreover, cis-1,4-polybutadiene may be transformed into small cyclic molecules, including its smallest precursor, 1,5-cyclooctadiene, by the use of this novel sequence. Norbornenes, including the reactive dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), remain unscathed even in the presence of terminal olefin substrates as they are too bulky to approach the diiodo ruthenium methylidene. The experimental results are accompanied by thorough DFT calculations.

The isotropic chemical shielding (iso) was mislabeled as the isotropic chemical shift (iso) in Table S40, Figures 2, 4, S153 and in the respective discussion of these figures in the text. The corrected figures are shown below; the SI graphics are provided in the corrected SI file. In the conclusion section, "cyclic olefins" was incorrectly written as "cyclic dienes" to be the essential structural feature for the selective ethenolysis toward w-dienes. The ROMP activity of Ru-20 is not detectable in the "presence of ethylene"; this was incorrectly written as the "absence of ethylene". Equations 5 and 7, pages S47 and S135 respectively, had errors that have been fixed in the corrected SI file. None of the above affects any conclusions of the article. (Figure Presented).
