Carbonyl‐olefin metathesis reactions have emerged as an invaluable strategy for the direct formation of carbon–carbon bonds, enabling the efficient construction of complex molecular architectures.

The Swedish academy's choice "confirms what is generally agreed upon in the synthetic chemistry community—that olefin metathesis is a very useful catalytic reaction that has a broad scope," comments ...

Olefin metathesis is already regarded as an important way to make carbon-carbon bonds, but the reaction could become even more practical, thanks to a new, highly active, water-soluble catalyst. In ...

Uniqsis has published details of a new flow-through protocol developed by the Lamaty Group at Universite de Montpellier (France) on a FlowSyn™ Multi-X system that provides efficient ring closing ...

Nobel Laureate Richard R. Schrock will deliver the inaugural Power of Applied Chemistry seminar on Tuesday, April 25. This in-person event, which is open to all members of the University of Delaware ...

Using ring-closing metathesis to exploit the properties of carbon-carbon double bonds, researchers have developed a new catalytic approach for the preparation of compounds essential to drug discovery.

R.R. Schrock, R.T. DePue, J. Feldman, K.B. Yap, et al., "Further studies of imido alkylidene complexes of tungsten, well-characterized olefin metathesis catalysts ...

ISOM XVIII will provide a platform for cross-disciplinary exchange on the latest developments in all aspects of alkene and alkyne metathesis and metathesis-based technologies. The program will cover ...

Researchers have created an iron catalyst that can facilitate important chemical reactions in place of the current catalyst, which is made from precious metals. A catalyst is a key ingredient for many ...

A highly active catalyst capable of synthesizing drug molecules within the body has been developed by RIKEN chemists. In mice, an anticancer drug assembled near tumors using the injected catalyst ...
