Strongly σ Donating Thiophenoxide in Silica-Supported Tungsten Oxo Catalysts for Improved 1‑Alkene Metathesis Efficiency
收藏资源简介：
We report the synthesis of tungsten oxo alkylidene complexes bearing bulky thiophenoxide ligands [W(O)(CHtBu)(SHMT)2(PMe2Ph)] and [W(O)(CHtBu)(SHMT)2] (SHMT = 2,6-dimesitylthiophenoxide) and their grafting on partially dehydroxylated silica, affording the supported complexes [(SiO)W(O)(CHtBu)(SHMT)(PMe2Ph)] and [(SiO)W(O)(CHtBu)(SHMT)]. While the molecular precursors are not significantly active in the metathesis of alkenes, the grafted analogue without bound phosphine ligands displays activity comparable to that of its aryloxide analogue [(SiO)W(O)(CHtBu)(OHMT)] (OHMT = 2,6-dimesitylphenoxide). It is worth noting that [(SiO)W(O)(CHtBu)(SHMT)] showed unprecedented activity in the metathesis of 1-alkenes, probably because of the lower stability of metallacyclobutane intermediates.
