A systematic study for the in situ generation of Ru-based metathesis catalysts was described. Assembly of commercially available and inexpensive reagents [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2, SIPr·HCl, and n-BuLi led to the formation of 18 electron arene-ruthenium complexes that, in the presence of additives such as alkynes, cyclopropenes, and diazoesters, generated highly selective and efficient catalytic systems applicable to a variety of olefin metathesis transformations. Notably, we were able to achieve a productive TON of 4500 for the self-metathesis of methyl oleate, a reaction which could be easily upscaled to 2 kg.

Novel sulfoxide-ligated ruthenium complexes were prepared by reacting second-generation metathesis precatalysts with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a small excess of sulfoxide. (SIMes)Ru(S-DMSO)(Ind)Cl2 (M54) and (SIMes)Ru(S-DMSO)(CHPh)Cl2 (M54a) were characterized crystallographically and, in agreement with NMR spectroscopy, were found to adopt an unusual cis-dichloro configuration. Despite having traditionally latent geometry, the new complexes were found to be highly reactive precatalysts for routine metathesis transformations. Additionally, the robustness, scalability, and industrial utility of M54 as a ruthenium synthon are demonstrated.
