Application

Dichloro(benzylidene)bis(tricyclohexylphosphine)ruthenium(II) serves as an advanced ruthenium catalyst known for its robustness in facilitating a wide range of organic synthesis processes. Its high resistance to polar monomers enables the polymerization of these monomers to create cyclic olefin copolymers, which are integral in the production of various optical, informational, electrical, and medical materials. As the first metathesis catalyst to be extensively utilized in organic synthesis, it efficiently catalyzes olefin metathesis reactions, including ring-opening polymerization of strained cyclic olefins, acyclic diene metathesis polymerization, olefin cross metathesis, and ring-closing metathesis of terminal olefins, under diverse reaction conditions.
