New Catalysts for Synthesis of Stereodefined and Modifiable Tetrasubstituted Alkenes
Tetrasubstituted olefins are key to drug discovery, and the ability to such entities is a compelling goal. Pioneering studies have led to a number of noteworthy advances by significant shortcomings remain. For example, it is especially challenging to access tetrasubstituted alkenes that contain four sizeable substituents or a F atom and/or a CF3 unit. Most protocols can only afford one of the possible isomers. Tetrasubstituted alkenes that contain multiple modifiable substituents are particularly attractive, because they can serve as diversification points that lead to a large assortment of desirable compounds. Olefin metathesis offers a strategically distinct, efficient, and…
