Overall Reaction Scheme
Our reaction mechanism can be broken down into three simple steps: alkene metathesis with the grubbs second generation catalyst, hydrogenation with H2 and Pd(OH2), and removal of protecting groups using H2 and Pd(OH2). Note: The first step of our reaction mechanism is alkene metathesis. In the second step, hydrogenation and deprotection occur concurrently, as H2 and Pd(OH2) is added to the reaction mixture. In this tutorial, the hydrogenation step and deprotection steps are treated as seperate steps in order to simplify the overall mechanism.
