A tutorial review of stereoretentive olefin metathesis based on ruthenium dithiolate catalysts
Abstract
Stereoretentive olefin metathesis based on ruthenium dithiolate complexes has become a very active field of research within the past years. This unique catalyst class is able to kinetically produce both Z-and E-alkenes in high stereochemical purity (typically >95 5) starting from stereochemically pure Z-or E-alkenes. The aim of this tutorial review is to organize the reported information concerning ruthenium dithiolate catalysts in a logic manner, thus providing an "operators handbook" for chemists who wish to apply this methodology in synthesis.
