title: Simple synthetic routes to ruthenium-indenylidene olefin metathesis catalysts.
abstract: An efficient synthetic protocol involving reactions between the free carbene and [RuCl(2)(PPh(3))(2)(Ind)] followed by addition of pyridine leads to the isolation of olefin metathesis active [RuCl(2)(L)(Py)(Ind)] (L = SIMes and SIPr) complexes. This novel approach circumvents the use of costly tricyclohexylphosphine.
