Ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts, known for their functional group tolerance and
broad applicability in organic synthesis and polymer science, continue to evolve as an …

A long-standing challenge in synthetic chemistry is the direct, selective functionalization of
alkyl, alkenyl, and aryl CH bonds. Much research has been devoted to the selective …

An analysis of chemical reactions used in current medicinal chemistry (2014), three decades
ago (1984), and in natural product total synthesis has been conducted. The analysis …

In recent years, the olefin metathesis reaction has attracted widespread attention as a
versatile carbon− carbon bond-forming method. Many new applications have become …

In recent years, olefin cross metathesis (CM) has emerged as a powerful and convenient
synthetic technique in organic chemistry; however, as a general synthetic method, CM has …

The advent of well‐defined catalysts for olefin metathesis which combine high activity,
durability, and excellent tolerance towards polar functional groups has revolutionized the …

Olefin metathesis has become a tool for synthetic organic and polymer chemists. Well-
defined, functional group tolerant catalysts have allowed these advances. A discussion of …

Enol ethers are widely used as quenching reagents for Grubbs catalysts. However, we
report the surprisingly effective ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of cyclic …

With the exception of palladium‐catalyzed cross‐couplings, no other group of reactions has
had such a profound impact on the formation of carbon–carbon bonds and the art of total …

Enyne metathesis is a bond reorganization of an alkene and an alkyne to produce a 1, 3-
diene (eqs 1 and 2 in Scheme 1). It has been used in both intramolecular and intermolecular …
