Latest Patents
One of Scholl's latest patents is focused on the "Cross-metathesis reaction of functionalized and substituted olefins using group 8 transition metal carbene complexes as metathesis catalysts." This invention pertains to the use of Group 8 transition metal carbene complexes as catalysts for olefin cross-metathesis reactions. In particular, ruthenium and osmium alkylidene complexes substituted with an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand are utilized to catalyze cross-metathesis reactions. This process provides a variety of substituted and functionalized olefins, including phosphonate-substituted olefins, directly halogenated olefins, 1,1,2-trisubstituted olefins, and quaternary allylic olefins. The invention also outlines a method for creating functional diversity using these complexes to catalyze cross-metathesis reactions of a first olefinic reactant with various olefinic reactants, resulting in a range of structurally distinct olefinic products. Additionally, the methodology facilitates the stereoselective synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted olefins in the cis configuration.
