Ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts have been evaluated for the ethenolysis of methyl oleate, a natural seed oil derivative, to produce useful terminal olefins. Several N ‐heterocyclic carbene‐based ruthenium catalysts demonstrate good activity and selectivity for the formation of terminal olefins. In particular, catalysts ( 10 ) and ( 21 ) achieved higher TONs (>20 000).
