Ruthenium-Based Heterocyclic Carbene-Coordinated Olefin Metathesis Catalysts

The fascinating story of olefin (or alkene) metathesis (eq \n1) began almost five decades ago, when Anderson and \nMerckling reported the first carbon-carbon double-bond \nrearrangement reaction in the titanium-catalyzed polymerization of norbornene. Nine years later, Banks and Bailey reported “a ne... View More
