title: Highly efficient Ru-pseudohalide catalysts for olefin metathesis.
abstract: Ruthenium alkylidene complexes containing one aryloxide "pseudohalide" ligand catalyze ring-closing metathesis of diene and ene-yne substrates with exceptionally high efficiency. Chromatographic removal of Ru residues is unexpectedly facile, offering a convenient means of isolating pure organic products in high yields.
