RUTHENIUM-BASED CATALYSTS FOR THE RING-OPENING METATHESIS POLYMERIZATION OF LOW-STRAIN CYCLIC OLEFINS AND OF FUNCTIONALIZED DERIVATIVES OF NORBORNENE AND CYCLOOCTENE
Aw. Stumpf et al., RUTHENIUM-BASED CATALYSTS FOR THE RING-OPENING METATHESIS POLYMERIZATION OF LOW-STRAIN CYCLIC OLEFINS AND OF FUNCTIONALIZED DERIVATIVES OF NORBORNENE AND CYCLOOCTENE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (11), 1995, pp. 1127-1128
New, readily available catalyst systems based on [(arene)RuCl(2)phosph
ine] complexes activated by addition of trimethylsilyldiazomethane are
very active for promoting the ring opening metathesis polymerisation
(ROMP) of functionalised norbornenes and cyclooctenes.
