Abstract
Abstractα‐Oxygenated Z‐olefins are ubiquitous in biologically active molecules and serve as versatile handles for organic synthesis, but their syntheses are often tedious and less selective. Here we report the efficient Z‐selective metathesis of various terminal acrylates and allyl alcohols, which enables facile and selective construction of high value‐added α‐oxygenated Z‐olefins from readily available feedstock chemicals. These challenging metathesis transformations are enabled by novel cyclometalated Ru‐carbene‐nitrate complexes bearing bulky‐yet‐flexible side arms, whose assembly was unlocked by new organometallic syntheses.
