47. Another (not necessarily mechanistically related) observation indicating that alteration of the aryl substituents of an NHC ligand can have unexpected effects on the stability and reactivity of the derived Ru carbenes can be found in a recent synthesis of a related Ru carbene bearing 2,6-diisopropylphenyl substituents on the saturated NHC; a Ru hydride was isolated as a major byproduct.

50. This compound is easily formed by ring-opening of commercially available cis-5-norbornene-endo-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride with 2 equiv of the functionalized benzylic alcohol; for details, see ref 10.
51. The value was calculated from the mass increase following functionalization of the glass surface.
52. If stirring is allowed to proceed for a longer period, RCM proceeds to > 99% conversion for each catalyst. Reactions in Table 1 were stopped abruptly at 1 h simply by drawing the reaction mixture away from the catalyst pellet with a Pasteur pipet.

57. Mechanistic studies involving chiral Ru complex 3 (Chart 1) and its deuterated derivatives indicate that catalyst recovered in high yield (90%) after olefin metathesis represents unreleased Ru carbene. Thus, even with the less active chiral complex, bearing a bidentate and sterically bulky ligand, high activity can be achieved with ≤ 10% released carbene. See ref 4b.
