Evaluation of an olefin metathesis pre-catalyst with a bulky and electron-rich N-heterocyclic carbene

The commercially-available metathesis pre-catalyst M23 has been evaluated alongside new complex [RuCl2((3-phenyl)indenylidene)(PPh3)(SIPrOMe)] (1), which bears a para-methoxy-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene ligand. Several model metathesis reactions could be conducted using only parts-per-million levels of ruthenium catalyst. The effects of the different NHC ligands on reactivity have been explored

SPN thanks the European Research Council (227817) (Advanced Investigator Award ‘FUNCAT’), the EU (CP-FP 211468) (Seventh Framework Programme Project ‘EUMET’), and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council for funding.
