Abstract

[(triple bond SiO)Mo(triple bond NAr)(=CHCMe2R)(OtBu)], a well-defined silica supported alkene metathesis catalyst precursor, shows a dramatic enhancement of activity and selectivity compared to [Mo(triple bond NAr)(=CHCMe2R)(OtBu)2] and [(triple bond SiO)Mo(triple bond NAr)(=CHCMe2R)(CH2tBu)], respectively.
