Vanadium bis-phosphine imido and oxo chloride alkylidenes have been extensively applied in the ring-closing metathesis of various acyclic olefins. However, their reactions involving ethylene have shown limited productivity due to rapid decomposition. The

Vanadium-based catalysts have shown activity and selectivity in ring-opening metathesis polymerization of strained cyclic olefins comparable to those of Ru, Mo, and W catalysts. However, the application of V alkylidenes in routine organic synthesis is limited. Here, we present the first example of ring-closing olefin metathesis catalyzed by well-defined V chloride alkylidene phosphine complexes. The developed catalysts exhibit tolerance to various functional groups, such as an ether, an ester, a tertiary amide, a tertiary amine, and a sulfonamide. The size and electron-donating properties of the imido group and the phosphine play a crucial role in the stability of active intermediates. Reactions with ethylene and olefins suggest that both β-hydride elimination of the metallacyclobutene and bimolecular decomposition are responsible for catalyst degradation.

The molybdenum benzylidynes [ArCMo(OC(CF3)2CH3)3(1,2-dimethoxyethane)], where Ar = Ph (2a), p-(OCH3)C6H4 (2b), p-(CF3)C6H4 (2c), p-(NO2)C6H4 (2d), or 4-(NO2)-3-(CF3)C6H3 (2e), and [p-(NO2)C6H4CMo(OC(CF3)2CH3)3] (2f) catalyze the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of diallyl N-tosylamide (3) to produce 1-tosyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole (4) and ethylene. The scope of RCM catalytic activity of 2e, cross-metathesis of 1-hexene, and ring-opening metathesis polymerization of cyclooctene were explored. The X-ray crystal structure of 2e was determined. Variable-temperature 1H NMR spectra revealed the formation of intermediates during the reaction of 3 with 2f and the reforming of 2f after completion of the reaction. The use of 13C-labeled Mo benzylidyne did not show transfer of the carbon atom next to Mo to any of the products.
