The Ru dithiolate alkylidene species (SIMes)Ru(CHPh)(O(CH2CH2S)2) (1) reacts with 1 and 2 equiv of BCl3 to give (SIMes)RuCl(CHPh)(Cl2B(SCH2CH2)2O) (2) and [(SIMes)Ru(CHPh)(Cl2B(SCH2CH2)2O)][BCl4] (3), respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 are inactive in ROMP, RCM, and CM reactions, whereas 3 is an active catalyst for these metatheses.
