title: Ring-closing metathesis in aqueous micellar medium.
abstract: Underwater exploration: The ring-closing metathesis of N,N-diallyltosylamine (DATs) and diallyldiethyl malonate has been studied in aqueous micellar medium, at room temperature, in the presence of four different gemini cationic surfactants and various ruthenium catalysts. For the first time, the adsorption mechanisms and the reaction steps involved in this heterogeneous catalytic process were elucidated.
