Abstract: Methods for conversion of a broad range of amines to their 15N isotopic counterparts and the compounds produced thereby.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, catalysts, catalyst compositions and systems are provided to activate a latent ruthenium olefin metathesis catalyst using a deep red to near infrared light (e.g., 600-800 nm) in conjunction with an osmium (II) photocatalyst that is directly excited to its triplet state via spin-forbidden excitation. An excited state single electron reduction of a latent solvent coordinated, cationic pre-catalyst is proposed as the operating mechanism for activation and photocontrol, as probed via in situ LED NMR kinetic studies and cyclic voltammetry. Excellent levels of spatiotemporal control can be found under light irradiation. NIR olefin metathesis exhibits improved light penetration through barriers over lower wavelengths of light, a control element that was deployed to mold dicyclopentadiene via Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP).
