Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The statement “entropy for ring closure in ring closing metathesis is not large for most systems” is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Ring closing metathesis is a process in
These reactions are catalyzed by metal complexes. Grubbs II reagent is a ruthenium-based carbene complex used as a catalyst in ring closing metathesis. These catalysts can form di-substituted or tri-substituted alkenes.
The
The entropy for ring closure in ring closing metathesis is not large as these reactions have enthalpy favorability.
