2.1.1 Historical Overview of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes in Alkene Metathesis

Metathesis is a term used in linguistics to describe a language pattern where a sequence of two sounds occurs in one order in one context and in the opposite order in a related con...

Metathesis is often loosely defined as the sequential reordering of one or more segments or features. For decades, broad definitions of metathesis have often resulted in the recons...

A variety of antibiotics and immune-suppressive agents contain extended arrays of all- ( E )-polyenes. Samir Bouzbouz of CNS Rouen and Janine Cossy of ESPCI ParisTech devised ( Syn...

Metathesis reactions is firmly established as a valuable synthetic tool in organic chemistry, clearly comparable with the venerable Diels-Alder and Wittig reactions and, more recen...

Alkyne metathesis catalyzed by metal alkylidynes is a powerful method for forming a triple bond. Among different modes of alkyne metathesis, cross‐metathesis and ring‐closing metat...

Masato Matsugi of Meijo University showed (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 7905) that over five iterations, the fluorous-tagged Ru catalyst 1b was readily recovered and reused for the cycl...

AbstractIn organic synthesis and polymer science, the metathesis reaction consists of a unique metal‐catalyzed carbon skeleton redistribution in which a mutual exchange of unsatura...

AbstractIn the past decade, numerous examples of chemical technologies based on olefin metathesis have been developed to make olefin metathesis increasingly dominant in several sus...
