12. Precisely, not the catalyst is initially employed but rather the catalyst in its rest state or in a precatalyst state. This is definitely implied for the common olefin metathesis catalysts.

163. Note added in proof: Recently, another interesting method for the removal of ruthenium from metathesis reactions by using a polar isocyanide was reported; see: B. R. Galan, K. P. Kalbarczyk, S. Szczepankiewicz, J. B. Keister, S. T. Diver, Org. Lett. 2007, 9, 1203-1206.
164. 2, removal of ruthenium by-products from olefin metathesis products is possible by simple aqueous extraction; see: S. H. Hong, R. H. Grubbs, Org. Lett. 2007, 9, 1955-1957.
