The principle is illustrated herein for the example of asymmetric olefin metathesis. This work reports the synthesis of the first helically chiral Ru-NHC alkylidene complex from an aminohelicene-derived imidazolium salt, which was ligated to the first generation Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst. Kinetic data were acquired for benchmark test reactions and compared to an achiral catalyst. The helically chiral Ru-catalyst was evaluated in asymmetric ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and ring-opening metathesis-cross-metathesis (ROM/CM) reactions, which proceeded with promising levels of enantioselectivity. Extensive NMR-spectroscopic investigations and a DFT geometry optimization were performed. These results led to a topographic steric map and calculation of percent-buried-volume values for each quadrant around the metal center.}, language = {en} } @article{SchultzeSchmidt2018, author = {Schultze, Christiane and Schmidt, Bernd}, title = {Ring-closing-metathesis-based synthesis of annellated coumarins from 8-allylcoumarins}, series = {Beilstein journal of organic chemistry}, volume = {14}, journal = {Beilstein journal of organic chemistry}, publisher = {Beilstein-Institut zur F{\"o}rderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften}, address = {Frankfurt, Main}, issn = {1860-5397}, doi = {10.3762/bjoc.14.278}, pages = {2991 -- 2998}, year = {2018}, abstract = {8-Allylcoumarins are conveniently accessible through a microwave-promoted tandem Claisen rearrangement/Wittig olefination/cyclization sequence.
