What is Grubbs Catalyst 2nd Generation (CAS 246047-72-3)?

Grubbs Catalyst 2nd Generation (CAS 246047-72-3) is a high-performance ruthenium-based metathesis catalyst widely used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical research, polymer science, and fine chemical production. As an improvement over the first-generation Grubbs catalyst, this advanced version features an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, significantly enhancing its stability, activity, and selectivity in metathesis reactions.

This catalyst enables olefin metathesis, a powerful and widely used chemical reaction that forms carbon-carbon double bonds, facilitating the synthesis of complex molecules.

Applications of Grubbs Catalyst 2nd Generation (CAS 246047-72-3)

1. Polymer Chemistry

• Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) – Plays a vital role in synthesizing high-performance polymers, such as specialty elastomers, resins, and advanced materials.

• Cross-Metathesis (CM) – Facilitates the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds in polymer modifications, leading to enhanced polymer properties.

2. Petrochemical & Chemical Manufacturing

• Olefin Metathesis Reactions – Used in industrial-scale olefin metathesis for petrochemical refining and fine chemical production.

• Synthesis of Functionalized Olefins – Allows the production of specialty chemicals with unique functional groups.

3. Green Chemistry & Sustainable Synthesis

• Eco-Friendly Catalyst – Grubbs Catalyst 2nd Generation promotes atom-efficient and solvent-reducing reactions, aligning with green chemistry principles.

• Catalyst Recycling – Can be reused in multiple reaction cycles, reducing chemical waste and improving cost efficiency.

Advantages of Grubbs Catalyst 2nd Generation (CAS 246047-72-3)
