Synthesis of Z-Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Alkenes through Catalytic Cross-Metastasis

Exclusively Licensed

The present disclosure provides compounds, compositions, and methods for preparing alkenyl halides and/or haloalkyl-substituted olefins with Z-selectivity. The methods are particularly useful for preparing alkenyl fluorides such as CF3-substituted olefins by means of cross-metathesis reactions using halogen-containing molybdenum and tungsten complexes.
