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 ...

Olefin metathesis is a versatile catalytic transformation in which pairs of carbon–carbon double bonds exchange substituents through metal–carbene intermediates. This reaction underpins key processes ...

Metathesis reactions for making compounds that contain carbon-carbon multiple bonds are one of the most important sets of processes in the chemical industry. The alkene or alkyne products are widely ...

The authors describe the Piers' catalysts and detail latest progress in olefin-metathesis catalyst technology. Olefin metathesis provides an efficient method for the construction of carbon-carbon ...

New process technologies for propylene production show great economic promise, according to a new report from Nexant Inc., White Plains, NY. The recently published report predicts that propylene ...
