“…Thus, with the 2nd generation Grubbs catalyst (1), isomerization induced by in situ generated ruthenium-hydride complexes [4][5][6][7][8]21,22] is negatively influencing the yield and product selectivity, creating difficulties in product separation and purification. Olefin isomerization has been decreased by the addition of electron-deficient benzoquinones (e.g., 1,4-benzoquinones, 10 mol %), tricyclohexylphosphine oxide (0.5 mol %) or phenylphosphoric acid (5 mol %), as well as quinone-containing Hoveyda-type complexes [23][24][25][26][27]. Also proved was that for other 2nd generation Ru metathesis catalysts, the contribution of the isomerization pathway hinges on the catalyst loading [28].…”
