| We present two ring-closing metathesis reactions using Grubbs first generation catalyst and a new solvent, polyethylene glycol (PEG), obtaining 100% conversion of the substrates, diethyl diallylmalonate and diallyltosylamine, to their respective products. PEG has shown itself to be a very inexpensive, effective, recyclable, and hazardless solvent, making these reactions feasible options for incorporation into introductory organic chemistry laboratory classes.
