Abstract
Stereochemically defined organofluorine compounds are central to drug discovery and development. Here, we present a catalytic cross-metathesis method for the synthesis of Z-trisubstituted olefins that contain a Cl- and a CF3-bound carbon terminus. Notably, the process is stereoselective, which is in contrast to the existing stereoretentive strategies that also involve a trisubstituted olefin as starting material. Reactions are catalyzed by a Mo monoaryloxide pyrrolide alkylidene, involve a trisubstituted alkene and gem-Cl,CF3-substituted alkene, and are fully Z-selective. Catalytic cross-coupling can be used to convert the C-Cl bond of the trisubstituted olefin to C-B, C-D, and different C-C bonds. We elucidate the role of Cl,CF3-disubstituted Mo alkylidenes. Experimental and computational (DFT) data show that in some instances a disubstituted alkylidene is formed and then transformed to a more active complex. In other cases, the Cl,CF3-disubstituted alkylidene is a direct participant in a catalytic cycle. The studies described shed new light on the chemistry of high oxidation-state disubstituted alkylidenes-scarcely investigated entities likely to be pivotal to approaches for stereocontrolled synthesis of tetrasubstituted alkenes through olefin metathesis.

Effect of Lewis Acids on the Catalyst Activity for Alkene Metathesis, Z-/E- Selectivity and Stability of Tungsten Oxo Alkylidenes. Top Catal 2021.

Abstract
AbstractLewis acids increase the catalytic activity of classical heterogeneous catalysts and molecular d0 tungsten oxo alkylidenes in a variety of olefin metathesis processes. The formation of labile adducts between the metal complex and the Lewis acid has been observed experimentally and suggested to be involved in the catalyst activity increase. In this contribution, DFT (M06) calculations have been performed to determine the role of Lewis acids on catalyst activity, Z-/E- selectivity and stability by comparing three W(E)(CHR)(2,5-dimethylpyrrolide)(O-2,6-dimesithylphenoxide) (E = oxo, imido or oxo-Lewis acid adduct) alkylidenes. Results show that the formation of the alkylidene—Lewis acid adducts influences the reactivity of tungsten oxo alkylidenes due to both steric and electronic effects. The addition of the Lewis acid on the E group increases its bulkiness and this decreases catalyst Z-selectivity. Moreover, the interaction between the oxo ligand and the Lewis acid decreases the donating ability of the former toward the metal. This is important when the oxo group has either a ligand in trans or in the same plane that is competing for the same metal d orbitals. Therefore, the weakening of oxo donating ability facilitates the cycloaddition and cycloreversion steps and it stabilizes the productive trigonal bipyramid metallacyclobutane isomer. The two factors increase the catalytic activity of the complex. The electron donating tuneability by the coordination of the Lewis acid also applies to catalyst deactivation and particularly the key β-hydride elimination step. In this process, the transition states show a ligand in pseudo trans to the oxo. Therefore, the presence of the Lewis acid decreases the Gibbs energy barrier significantly. Overall, the optimization of the E group donating ability in each step of the reaction makes tungsten oxo alkylidenes more reactive and this applies both for the catalytic activity and catalyst deactivation.

Abstract
Upon addition of 5-15% PhNMe2H+X- (X = B(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3)4 or B(C6F5)4) to Mo(NAr)(styrene)(OSiPh3)2 (Ar = N-2,6-i-Pr2C6H3) in C6D6 an equilibrium mixture of Mo(NAr)(styrene)(OSiPh3)2 and Mo(NAr)(CMePh)(OSiPh3)2 is formed over 36 h at 45 °C (Keq = 0.36). A plausible intermediate in the interconversion of the styrene and 1-phenethylidene complexes is the 1-phenethyl cation, [Mo(NAr)(CHMePh)(OSiPh3)2]+, which can be generated using [(Et2O)2H][B(C6F5)4] as the acid. The interconversion can be modeled as two equilibria involving protonation of Mo(NAr)(styrene)(OSiPh3)2 or Mo(NAr)(CMePh)(OSiPh3)2 and deprotonation of the α or β phenethyl carbon atom in [Mo(NAr)(CHMePh)(OSiPh3)2]+. The ratio of the rate of deprotonation of [Mo(NAr)(CHMePh)(OSiPh3)2]+ by PhNMe2 in the α position versus the β position is ∼10, or ∼30 per Hβ. The slow step is protonation of Mo(NAr)(styrene)(OSiPh3)2 (k1 = 0.158(4) L/(mol·min)). Proton sources such as (CF3)3COH or Ph3SiOH do not catalyze the interconversion of Mo(NAr)(styrene)(OSiPh3)2 and Mo(NAr)(CMePh)(OSiPh3)2, while the reaction of Mo(NAr)(styrene)(OSiPh3)2 with pyridinium salts generates only a trace (∼2%) of Mo(NAr)(CMePh)(OSiPh3)2 and forms a monopyridine adduct, [Mo(NAr)(CHMePh)(OSiPh3)2(py)]+ (two diastereomers). The structure of [Mo(NAr)(CHMePh)(OSiPh3)2]+ has been confirmed in an X-ray study; there is no structural indication that a β proton is activated through a CHβ interaction with the metal. W(NAr)(CMePh)(OSiPh3)2 is also converted into a mixture of W(NAr)(CMePh)(OSiPh3)2 and W(NAr)(styrene)(OSiPh3)2 (Keq = 0.47 at 45 °C in favor of the styrene complex) with 10% [PhNMe2H][B(C6F5)4] as the catalyst; the time required to reach equilibrium is approximately the same as in the Mo system.
