The Development of New Catalysts, Concepts, and Methods for Stereoselective Olefin Metathesis

Thesis advisor: Amir H. Hoveyda === We have synthesized Ru-carbene isocyanide complexes that promote both ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene as well as cycloisomerization of diethyl diallylmalonate. We have also synthesized a N-heterocyclic carbene complex bearing a biphenylthiol m...
