Abstract
•New Hoveyda-type catalysts are presented.•Use of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as green solvent for olefin metathesis is shown.•Temperature and solvent dependence on the activity of catalyst are presented.•New catalysts show superior activity in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran.
Applicability of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran for olefin metathesis was examined with a set of ruthenium Hoveyda-type second generation catalysts. Influence of temperature was studied and the results were compared with those obtained in classical solvents for metathesis: dichloromethane and toluene.
