Abstract

An efficient synthetic protocol involving reactions between the free carbene and [RuCl2(PPh3)2(Ind)] followed by addition of pyridine leads to the isolation of olefin metathesis active [RuCl2(L)(Py)(Ind)] (L = SIMes and SIPr) complexes. This novel approach circumvents the use of costly tricyclohexylphosphine.
