Abstract
Reactions of the bis(pyridine) complex (H2IMes)(Py)2(Cl)2Ru(=CHPh) and fluorous phosphines P(CH2CH2Rfn)3 (n = a, 6; b, 8; c, 10; Rfn = (CF2)n–1CF3) give (H2IMes)(P(CH2CH2Rfn)3)(Cl)2Ru(=CHPh) (2a–c, 64–73%), which are analogs of Grubbs' second generation catalyst and effective alkene metathesis catalysts under organic monophasic and fluorous/organic biphasic conditions. The latter give rate accelerations, which are believed to arise from phase transfer of the dissociated fluorous phosphine
