Two saturated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands with substituted naphthyl side chains were used for the preparation of Blechert-type ruthenium metathesis precatalysts. The resulting conformers of the complexes were separated and unambiguously assigned by Xray diffraction studies. All new complexes were compared in terms of activity to the original, SIMes-derived Blechert catalyst and were shown to be superior. A study on the impact of solvent concentration in RCM reactions using the most active of these new catalysts ultimately led to the ring closing of a variety of substrates at very low catalyst loadings.
