Ether-induced rate enhancement of Mo-catalyzed alkyne metathesis under mild conditions

Abstract

A “user-friendly” catalyst system generated in situ in the absence of alkyne from Mo(CO)6, p-chlorophenol and a polyether over a bed of molecular sieves, is seen to achieve the metathesis of phenylpropyne at 50 °C with a significant rate enhancement depending on the nature of the ether, with 1,2-diphenoxyethane exhibiting the highest efficiency.
