Abstract
A surfactant containing a covalently bound ruthenium catalyst dissolves freely in water, forming nanomicelles in which ring-closing metathesis reactions on water-insoluble dienic substrates can occur in pure water at room temperature. It can also be recycled continuously without reaction workup.
