Abstract
Grubbs second generation ruthenium catalyst catalyzes various ring closing metathesis and hydrosilylation reactions in aqueous medium. Reactions proceeded in pure water without any additives or cosolvents, in a short period of time. We found that inhomogeneity of the reaction mixture does not prevent high conversion of the products in both reactions.
