PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stereoselective and stereoretentive olefin metathesis catalyst which brings about an improved activity, particularly an improved activity in an olefin metathesis reaction, particularly a cross metathesis reaction, and Z or E selectivity. The present invention generally relates to metathesis catalysts, as well as the use of such catalysts in metathesis of olefins and olefin compounds, and more specifically to the use of such catalysts in Z and E selective olefin metathesis reactions. The present invention has practicality in the fields of organometallics and organic synthesis. [Selection diagram] None |
