Chelated ruthenium catalysts have achieved highly chemoselective olefin metathesis reactions. Terminal and internal olefins were selectively reacted in the presence of internal olefins. Products were produced in good yield and high stereoselectivity for formation of a new olefin. No products of metathesis with the internal olefin were observed. Chemoselectivity for terminal olefins was also observed over both sterically hindered and electronically deactivated alkenes.

The demand for insulating materials with superior dielectric properties has increased. Among these materials, polymers containing cyclic structure including cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) and cyclic olefin polymer (COP) stand out because of their excellent dielectric properties originating from the pure hydrocarbon structure. Introducing fluorine into polymers is one efficient strategy for optimizing the dielectric and the related important properties.

Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) integrated within whole cells have emerged as promising catalysts; however, their sensitivity to metal centers remains a systematic challenge, resulting in diminished activity and turnover. Here we address this issue by inducing in cellulo liquid-liquid phase separation through a self-labeling fusion protein, HaloTag-SNAPTag. This strategy creates membraneless, isolated liquid condensates within Escherichia coli as protective compartments for the assembly of ArMs using the same fusion protein.

A Hoveyda-Grubbs (HG)-type olefin metathesis complex with a selenoether moiety at the terminus of phenoxy moiety was synthesized. The complex showed direct selenium-atom coordination to the ruthenium center, resulting in higher thermodynamic stability compared with the parent HG catalyst. The selenium atom binding enhanced the tolerance to protic solvent molecules in ring-closing metathesis of -tosyldiallylamide and diethyl diallylmalonate, and also in the cross metathesis between 3-butenylbenzoate and methyl acrylate.

First-principles analyses were performed for understanding the mechanistic details of Fe-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of alkenes in the presence of silane that has recently been experimentally realized. The catalytic hydrogenation is expected to proceed through initial hydride transfer from Fe-H to the CC bond of alkene, followed by σ-bond metathesis of hydrosilane to afford a chiral alkane product and an iron silyl species, which then reacts with H to regenerate the iron hydride species another σ-bond metathesis. The mechanistic details and the origin of the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of these reactions are understood on the basis of detailed potential energy surface analysis, charge transfer and noncovalent interactions involved therein, strain energy and isodesmic studies in the solvated stage.

Bis(catecholato)silanes were showcased as strong Lewis acids, while their inherent redox activity remained unexplored in this context. In the present work, we study the oxidation of monomeric bis(3,6-di--butyl-catecholato)silane (1), leading to the Lewis superacidic radicalic silylium ionradical 1˙+ (FIA 784 kJ mol). Oxidation of 1 with [N(-CHBr)][B(CF)] yielded [1][B(CF)], displaying strong catalytic activity in the Friedel-Crafts-dimerization, hydrodeoxygenation and carbonyl-olefin-metathesis.
