description

Abstract Oxotungsten(VI) complex cis -[WO(L t Bu )Me 2 ] (L t Bu  = methylamino- N , N -bis(2-methylene-4-methyl-6- tert -butylphenolate) dianion) was prepared by the transmetallation reaction of [WO(L t Bu )Cl 2 ] (either cis or trans isomer) with methyl magnesium iodide. This unexpectedly stable dialkyl complex can be activated by Et 2 AlCl to catalyze the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene.
