Abstract
Alkene metatheses catalyzed by (H2IMes)(Cy2PCH2CH2N(CH3)3+)(Cl)2Ru(CHPh) Cl-, an analog of Grubbs' second generation catalyst with an ammonium-salt containing phosphine, are dramatically accelerated when conducted in the presence of the insoluble resin PS-SO3Ag (PS = polystyrene). A mechanism involving ionic and covalent phosphine binding (PS-SO3Ag·PCy2CH2CH2N(CH3)3+ PS-SO3-) with concomitant formation of AgCl is proposed. Grubbs' second generation catalyst exhibits a modest rate enhancement, believed to reflect the generation of PS-SO3Ag·PCy3.
