Concept:

  • Grubbs catalysts are Ruthenium containing Metal-carbene complexes, named after Robert H. Grubbs
  • These complexes are used in olefin metathesis reactions, also known as Grubbs reaction.
  • Metathesis reaction between 2 olefins involves formation of 4 membered ring, followed by rearrangement of the bond to get new olefinic bond.

 

Explanation:

  • In the first step, the Grubbs catalyst exchange the groups  and form carbene with ethylene moleculeF1 Madhuri Teaching 08.02.2023 D21           
  • In the next step, the Ru-olefin carbene complex undergoes [2+2] cycloaddition reaction with the double bond present in given substrateF1 Madhuri Teaching 08.02.2023 D22      
  • Further, 4 membered ring containing Ru will undergo rearrangement leading to ring opening. The Ru=C bond  again shows cycloaddition with another ethylene molecule to give 4 membered ring followed by rearrangement and ring opening to get double bonds with different substituents.

  • Finally, there will be Sigmatropic rearrangement. F1 Madhuri Teaching 08.02.2023 D24       

 

Conclusion:

Therefore, the final product of given Grubbs reaction is :
