Abstract

A series of NMR spectroscopy experiments have been conducted with both the model compound, 3-methyl-1-pentene and the corresponding ADMET monomer 3, 6, 9- trimethylundeca-1, 10-diene (11) to better understand the effect of allylic methyls during olefin metathesis chemistry. Traditional ADMET catalysts such as Schrock's molybdenum (1), and Grubbs' ruthenium 1st and 2nd generation (2 and 3) were examined under cross- ...
