Vegetable biomass is generated from CO2 and H2O using sunlight as the energy source,
producing O2 as a subproduct. The primary products formed are C6-and C5-sugars that …

Other than their established short-chain congeners, polycondensates based on long-chain
difunctional monomers are often dominated by the long methylene sequences of the repeat …

Remarkable innovations have been made in the field of olefin metathesis due to the design
and preparation of new catalysts. Ethenolysis, which is cross‐metathesis with ethylene …

In the last few years, governments all around the world have agreed upon migrating towards
carbon-neutral economies as a strategy for restraining the effects of climate change. A major …

The state‐of‐the‐art in olefin metathesis is application of N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐
containing ruthenium alkylidenes for the formation of internal C= C bonds and of cyclic alkyl …

Olefin metathesis, awarded with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2005 for Chauvin, Grubbs and
Schrock, has emerged as a powerful tool for organic as well as polymer chemistry. In …

One of the most important areas of green chemistry is the application of environmentally
friendly solvents in catalysis and synthesis. Conventional organic solvents pose a threat to …

High conversion and selectivity can be obtained for the cross-metathesis of 2-butene with
triglycerides and unsaturated fatty acid esters derived from natural oils. This can be …

We report the development of a tandem chemoenzymatic transformation that combines
alkene metathesis with enzymatic epoxidation to provide aryl epoxides. The development of …

Continuous flow homogeneous alkene metathesis using a supported ionic liquid phase
(SILP) catalyst with CO2 as a transport vector allows the self-metathesis of methyl oleate …
