A bulky binol‐based ligand is the key structural feature of the ruthenium complex 1 , which displays an unprecedented metathesis activity combined with high stability. For a range of dienes, ring‐closing metathesis reactions catalyzed by 1 lead to near quantitative yields of cycloalkenes after a few minutes.
