Catalytic, Enantioselective Synthesis of 1,2-anti-Diols by Asymmetric Ring-Opening/Cross-Metathesis [PDF]
An enantioselective method for the synthesis of 1,2-anti-diols has been developed. A cyclometalated chiral-at-ruthenium complex catalyzes the asymmetric ring-opening/cross-metathesis of dioxygenated cyclobutenes, thus resulting in functionally rich ...

A Convenient, Safe, and Atom-Economical Route to a Large Portfolio of Grubbs-Type Catalysts for Olefin Metathesis via Four-Coordinate Ruthenium Alkylidynes. [PDF]
It may seem counterintuitive to first target a ruthenium alkylidyne when Grubbs‐type ruthenium carbene complexes are the actual goal. In the end, however, this tactic pays valuable dividends in terms of practicality, atom economy, flexibility as well as safety: the new route provides ready access to a large assortment of catalysts for alkene metathesis

Kinetics of anionic polymerization of β‐myrcene in hydrocarbon solvents
The process of anionic polymerization of β‐myrcene in hydrocarbon solvents was examined by kinetic studies and quantum chemical calculations. Abstract The kinetics of anionic polymerization of β‐myrcene initiated by sec‐butyllithium were examined in saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon solvents, i.e. cyclohexane, cyclohexene, 4‐vinylcyclohexene and dl‐
