Metathesis reactions are chemical reactions in which two hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes or alkynes) are converted to two new hydrocarbons by the exchange of carbon–carbon single, double or triple ...

OLEFIN METATHESIS is a fundamental catalytic reaction that stands among a handful of the most versatile ways to make carbon-carbon bonds and build molecules. As the reaction takes its course, ...

Carbonyl‐olefin metathesis reactions have emerged as an invaluable strategy for the direct formation of carbon–carbon bonds, enabling the efficient construction of complex molecular architectures.

The bonding-partner switcheroo that happens in metathesis reactions has been a boon for molecule makers. Chemists who made crucial discoveries in olefin metathesis even won the Nobel Prize in ...
