The intramolecular CH activation of a diphenylphenoxy ligand by an electrophilic W VI center is the crucial step in the synthesis of the extremely active and stereoselective metathesis catalyst 1 formed from [WCl 3 (CCMe 3 )(dme)] or [WCl 4 (O‐2,6‐C 6 H 3 Ph 2 ) 2 ]. In the metathesis of ethyl oleate, replenishing of the catalyst is not required; 500 moles of substrate per mole of 1 are converted in one hour at 25°C.
