Abstract: Ruthenium-catalyzed olefin cross-metathesis tolerates
a wide range of functional groups, including phosphine-boranes, sulfides,
amines, phenols, and oxazolines. The high functional group tolerance
allows for the use of an olefin as a linchpin for the synthesis of a
variety of bi-, tri-, and tetradentate chiral ligands with a high degree
of functional group diversity.
