When it comes to assembling macrocyclic olefins, few reactions can compete with the ease and efficiency of ring-closing metathesis. But the reaction has a downside: It suffers from poor ...

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 Swedish academy's choice "confirms what is generally agreed upon in the synthetic chemistry community—that olefin metathesis is a very useful catalytic reaction that has a broad scope," comments ...

Olefin cross-metathesis (CM)-based protocols enable short, flexible and regiocontrolled access to substituted furan derivatives. Specifically, CM of allylic alcohol and enone components provides ...

ISOM XVIII will provide a platform for cross-disciplinary exchange on the latest developments in all aspects of alkene and alkyne metathesis and metathesis-based technologies. The program will cover ...
