Abstract

Olefin metathesis catalyzed by transition-metal carbene complexes has developed as an important technique in the manipulation of carbon–carbon double bonds.[1] The development and subsequent commercial availability of highly active catalyst complexes has allowed olefin metathesis to have an important synthetic impact on fields ranging from materials science,[2] to biochemistry,[3] to natural-product synthesis.[4] Chemoselectivity ...
