Abstract The combination of a ruthenium–arene complex, a noncoordinating salt, and a Lewis acid facilitates access to a highly active and selective in situ metathesis catalyst. The catalyst is formed from an inexpensive ruthenium precursor and olefins are used as the substrates. RCM=Ring‐closing metathesis, acac=acetylacetonate.
