Application

Grubbs Catalyst® M204 can be used as a catalyst for ring-closing metathesis (RCM), cross-metathesis, and ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). It is also used to synthesize trisubstituted olefins with excellent functional group tolerance and selectivity via cross-metathesis and ring closing metathesis reactions.
It can also be used as a catalyst:

  • To synthesize coumarins from phenolic compounds via RCM.
  • To cleave secondary (E)-allyl vic-diols to aldehydes.
For small scale and high throughput uses, product is also available as ChemBeads (919764)

The ring-opening cross-metathesis of oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octene derivatives provides a convenient method for preparing differentially substituted 4-pyrones. The major competing reaction is the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of the bridged olefin. Studies on this reaction have shown that substituents on the bicyclic alkene
