Grubbs Catalyst Polymerization Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Grubbs first-generation catalyst [benzylidene-bis(tricyclohexylphosphino)-dichlororuthenium], 1, Grubbs second-generation catalyst [1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene)dichloro(phenylmethylene)(tricyclohexylphosphino)ruthenium], 2, and other solid reagents and solvents used in this study
were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and were used without further purification.
Solvents were dried through a small column of activated neutral alumina
(10% v/v) prior to use. All of the preparations were carried out under
Schlenk conditions or in a glovebox.

and stored with a septum and over molecular sieves. Deuterated solvents,
Grubbs first-generation catalyst, Hoveyda–Grubbs first-generation
catalyst, and Pd/C (10 wt %) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and
used as received.

Norbornene (99%), 5-Norbornene-2-methanol
(98%, mixture of endo and exo; endo:exo ratio of approximately 60:40 as
revealed by 1H NMR; Figure S1), 2-norbornanemethanol (97%, mixture of endo and exo isomers), first-generation Grubbs catalyst (97%), and
potassium tert-butoxide (reagent grade, ≥98%)

G2 catalyst was synthesized as previously reported.19 (link) Solvents (Toluene and THF) were dried by passage through
solvent purification columns and degassed before use. All manipulations
of air- and moisture-sensitive compounds were performed under nitrogen
atmosphere in a glovebox or via standard Schlenk line operations. 1H NMR spectra were recorded on an INOVA 600 (600 MHz) spectrometer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
