  • CATALYSTS FOR METATHESIS REACTIONS INCLUDING ENANTIOSELECTIVE OLEFIN METATHESIS, AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20110065915
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising metal complexes, and related methods. In some embodiments, metal complexes of the invention may be useful as catalysts for chemical reactions, including metathesis reactions, wherein the catalysts exhibit enhanced activity and stereoselectivity. In some embodiments, the invention may advantageously provide metal complexes comprising a stereogenic metal atom. Such metal complexes may be useful in enantioselective catalysis.
