Abstract

Abstract A new generation of alkyne metathesis catalysts, which are distinguished by high activity and an exquisite functional group tolerance, allows the scope of this transformation to be extended beyond its traditional range. They accept substrates that were previously found problematic or unreactive, such as propargyl alcohol derivatives, electron-deficient and electron-rich acetylenes of various types, and even terminal alkynes. Moreover, post- ...
