Abstract
The first study of low catalyst loading olefin metathesis reactions in air is reported. TON values of up to 7000 were obtained using nondegassed solvents with commercially available precatalysts Caz-1, Hov-II, and Ind-II. The simple experimental conditions allow olefin metathesis reactions to be carried out on the benchtop using technical grade solvents in air. (Chemical Equation Presented).
