摘要: The diverse applications of acrylate metathesis range from synthesis high-value α,β-unsaturated esters to depolymerization unsaturated polymers. Examined here are unexpected side reactions promoted by the important Grubbs catalyst GII. Evidence is presented for attack PCy3 on olefin generate a reactive carbanion, which participates in multiple pathways, including further Michael addition, proton abstraction, and deactivation. Related chemistry may be anticipated whenever labile metal–phosphine complexes used catalyze substrates bearing an electron-deficient olefin.
