A New Class of Highly Reactive and Stereoselective Stereogenic-at-Mo Catalysts for Olefin Metathesis

Thesis advisor: Amir H. Hoveyda === In the course of a total synthesis of quebrachamine, we were faced with a late-stage enantioselective ring-closing metathesis that could not be promoted by any of the state-of-the-art chiral metathesis catalysts. To overcome this deficiency, we designed and devel...
