Richard Schrock (2009) - Recent Advances in Olefin Metathesis Catalyzed by Molybdenum and Tungsten Alkylidene Complexes

In the process of preparing M(NR)(CHCMe2R')(OR")2 (R' = Me or Ph) species (or analogs that contain enantiomerically pure biphenolate or binaphtholate ligands) in situ by treating M(NR)(CHCMe2R')(pyrrolide)2 species with alcohols, we have discovered M(NR)(CHCMe2R')(OR)(pyrrolide) (MonoAlkoxidePyrrolide or MAP) complexes (M = Mo or W)'
