Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Original ruthenium supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) catalysts based on alginates as supports were developed for olefin metathesis reactions. The marine biopolymer, which fulfills most of the requisite properties for a support such as widespread abundance, insolubility in the majority of organic solvents, a high affinity for ionic liquids, high chemical stability, biodegradability, low cost, and easy processing, was impregnated by [bmim][PF₆] containing an ionically tagged ruthenium catalyst. These biosourced catalysts show promising performances in ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) and cross‐metathesis (CM) reactions, with a high level of recyclability and reusability combined with a good reactivity.</p> </abstract>
