(1,3-Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4-((4-ethyl-4-methylpiperzain-1-ium-1-yl)methyl)imidazolidin-2-ylidene)(2-isopropoxybenzylidene)ruthenium(II)dichloride chloride dihydrate FixCat

Technical Note:
1. Fixcat is a stable olefin metathesis initiator with very good solubility in neat water. The product efficiently promotes ring-closing, cross, and enyne metathesis reactions of water soluble substrates. Suitable for homogeneous and heterogeneous in batch or flow setup
The Fixcat structure was also optimized to serve as a versatile and very stable catalyst, easily immobilized on solid supports. In its SCA-15 supported version, it showed exceptional efficiency in promoting ring- closing and cross -metathesis reactions, in both batch and continuous flow setups. Fix Cat is also applicable as a homogeneous catalyst, where compatible solvents include alcohols and halogenated solvents.
