A simple and practical phase-separation approach to the recycling of a homogeneous metathesis catalyst.
The air stable asarone-derived Ru carbene 16, a robust olefin metathesis catalyst, can be easily separated after reaction by deposition on silica gel and reused up to nine times. This procedure provides products of excellent purity with low Ru content.
