Oxygen knocks it out: Olefin metathesis catalysts without steric hindrance in the ortho positions of the N ‐aryl substituents can be transformed into catalytically inactive ruthenium complexes through CH activation (see scheme). This process presumably proceeds by a pericyclic reaction and is rendered irreversible by oxygen.
