Abstract
[reaction--see text] Ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazoliumhexafluorophosphate ([bmim]PF(6)) is described as an effective medium for ring-closing metathesis (RCM) using Grubbs catalysts. When [bmim]PF(6) was used as solvent, the RCM showed high conversions and a broad substrate tolerance. [bmim]PF(6) and the ruthenium catalyst were recycled after extraction of the product in the organic phase for at least three cycles.Entities:
