A system for transfer hydrogenation of alkenes, composed of a ruthenium metathesis catalyst and HCOOH, is presented. This operationally simple system can be formed directly after a metathesis reaction to effect hydrogenation of the metathesis product in a single-pot. These hydrogenation conditions are applicable to a wide range of alkenes and offer remarkable selectivity.

A ruthenium-catalyzed transferhydrogenation of olefins utilizing formic acid as a hydrogen donor is described. The application of commercially available alkylidene ruthenium complexes opens access to attractive C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond formation in an olefin metathesis/transferhydrogenation sequence under tandem catalysis conditions. High chemoselectivity of the developed methodology provides a remarkable
New robust and air-stable ruthenium(II) indenylidene type second-generation precatalysts with unsymmetrical N-heterocycliccarbene (NHC) ligands were synthesized. The reaction profiles of these complexes were studied in commercial-grade solvents in air with model substrates leading to the di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted olefins. In addition, application of selected precatalysts for olefin metathesis

An investigation of aza analogues of the popular Hoveyda–Grubbs catalystcontaining a secondaryamineligand is presented, proving the crucial impact of steric as well as electronic factors on the catalyst’s stability and performance. The issue of latency in the reactivity profile of studied catalysts is examined, followed by structural and application studies.
Five Hoveyda–Grubbs‐type complexes bearing cyclopropyl to cycloheptyl ether moieties in the chelating benzylideneligand have been synthesized and investigated by spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. Their experimentally measured catalytic activity in model ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) reactions was studied at catalyst loading down to 10 ppm and compared with DFT calculations. The latter can
