The fascinating story of olefin (or alkene) metathesis (eq 1) began almost five decades ago,
when Anderson and Merckling reported the first carbonrcarbon double-bond rearrangement …

Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of dienes is one of the most important methodologies now in
use for the assembly of cyclic organic compounds. First employed by Villemin and by Tsuji …

The decomposition of a series of ruthenium metathesis catalysts has been examined using
methylidene species as model complexes. All of the phosphine-containing methylidene …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are widely used ligands and reagents in modern inorganic
synthesis as well as in homogeneous catalysis and organocatalysis. However, NHCs are …

While the fundamental series of [2+ 2] cycloadditions and retro [2+ 2] cycloadditions that
make up the pathways of ruthenium-catalysed metathesis reactions is well-established, the …
