In the journal Nature Communications, a publication titled “Preserving precise choreography of bonds in Z-stereoretentive olefin metathesis by using quinoxaline-2,3-dithiolate ligand” has been released. The co-authors of this work include PhD student Łukasz Grzesiński, prof. Anna Kajetanowicz, and prof. Karol Grela.
A ruthenium complex containing a new quinoxaline-derived ligand has been developed. This complex has proven to be an effective catalyst for olefin metathesis reactions, which is capable of ensuring high selectivity in the formation of C–C double bonds of Z geometry even under the demanding conditions necessary for obtaining macrocyclic musks — valuable fragrances. It also enables the valorization of plant oils—bio-based raw materials by transforming them, among others, into pheromones used in agriculture to control plant pests.
