Phosphines: Catalyst activity increases as cone angle and eletron donating ablilty increase
As cone angle increases, dissociation of phosphine more facile for steric reasons
More electon donating ligand labilizes trans ligand and stabilizes vacant orbital in 14 e- intermediate

High activity of NHC complex is due to improved selectivity for binding !-acidic olefinic substrates
in the presence of "-donating free phosphine (decreasing k-1/k2).

RCM: Macrocyclizations
! Dienes devoid of any conformational predisposition towards ring closure can be good RCM substrates
! Formation of cis and trans isomers in the formation of large rings
! Experimental Considerations:
1. Rate of oligimerization can be slowed by diluting the reaction or adding the diene slowly
2. Higher temperatures generally required
3. Higher catalyst loadings
! Substrate considerations
1. Presence of a polar functional group (ester, amide, ketone, ether, sulfonamide, urethane)

Due to bulky nature of metal ligands, bulky substituents close to olefins to be metathesized
will have adverse effect on the cyclization
