title: An [(NHC)(NHC(EWG))RuCl2(CHPh)] complex for the efficient formation of sterically hindered olefins by ring-closing metathesis.
abstract: NHC with EWGs for RCM: Ruthenium complexes with two N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), one of them substituted with electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs), are highly efficient (pre)catalysts for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins and trisubstituted olefins by ring-closing metathesis reactions (RCM, see scheme).
