Abstract
Two new enhanced versions of the Hoveyda catalyst, in which an ester function acts as a weakly coordinating ligand and allows to reach a desirable balance between antinomic properties such as the catalyst's stability, activity, and a high initiation rate, are readily available from Grubbs second generation precatalyst.
