The present invention relates to the synthesis of highly active ruthenium and osmium carbene metathesis catalyst in good yield from readily available starting materials. The catalysts that may be synthesized are of the general formula wherein: M is ruthenium or osmium; X and X1 are independently any anionic ligand; L and L1 are any neutral electron donor ligand; and, R and R1 are each hydrogen or one of the following substituent groups: C2-C20 alkenyl, C2-C20 alkynyl, C1-C20 alkyl, aryl, C1-C20 carboxylate, C1-C20 alkoxy, C2-C20 alkenyloxy, C2-C20 alkynyloxy, aryloxy, C2-C20 alkoxycarbonyl, C1-C20 alkylthio, C1-C20 alkylsulfonyl and C1-C20 alkylsulfinyl. Specific synthetic protocols for vinyl alkylidene catalysts wherein R is hydrogen and R1 is -CHCR12R13 and non-vinyl alkylidene catalysts are also disclosed. In addition to the ease of synthesis (typically a one-step synthesis), the reactions generally may be run at or above room temperature and the resulting products usually may be used without extensive post synthesis purification.
