Abstract:
A homogeneous catalyst prepared by reacting a compound of the formula (I): whereinD and Q each independently are C1, Br, I, or OR; G and Z is each independently PRâ€²3, NRâ€² or D; Râ€² is (C6-C18)-aryl, (C3-C18)-heteroaryl, (C3-C8)-cycloalkyl, (C1-C8)-alkyl, (C6-C16)-aryl -(C1-C8)-alkyl, (C3-C18)-heteroaryl-(C1-C8)-alkyl, (C7-C19)-aralkyl, or (C4-C19)-heteroaralkyl; M is Ru or Mo; R is (C6-C18)-aryl, (C3-C18)-heteroaryl, (C3-C8)-cycloalkyl, (C3-C8)-cycloalkenyl, H, (C1-C8)-alkyl, or (C2-C8)-alkenyl; in a non-reactive organic solvent or solvent mixture with a bicyclic olefin of the formula (II): whereinX is O, NR1, C(R1)2, S, POR6, or PR6; R1 and R2, independently of each other, are H, (C1-C8)-alkyl, (C2-C8)-alkenyl, (C2-C8)-alkynyl, (C6-C18)-aryl, (C7-C19)-aralkyl, (C3-C18)-heteroaryl, (C4-C19)-heteroaralkyl, (C3-C8)-cycloalkyl, (C3-C8)-cycloalkenyl, (C6-C18)-aryl-(C1-C8)-alkyl, (C3-C18)-heteroaryl-(C1-C8)-alkyl, (C3-C8)-cycloalkyl-(C1-C8)-alkyl, or (C1-C8)-alkyl-(C3-C8)-cycloalkyl, or form together an &boxH;O group; R3 and R4 are independently of each other OR1, SR1, NR12, OR7, SR7, or NR1R7 provided that at least one residue R3 or R4 bears a group R7, R6 is R1, provided that R6 is not H; R7 is a catalytically active group, and optionally with a further olefinic compound (III).
