Designer labels : Ruthenium carbene complex 1 bearing an ionic tag was shown to be a highly reactive catalyst for the ring‐closing metathesis of various diene and enyne substrates in minimally ionic solvent systems (see scheme; Bmim=1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium, Ts=toluene‐4‐sulfonyl). The catalyst can be repeatedly recycled and reused (up to at least 10 cycles) without significant loss of its activity, whereas other catalysts tested exhibited a dramatic diminishment in their activity upon recovery from the ionic layer.
