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 ...

Chemists have established numerous methods for performing protein conjugations, but metathesis catalysts have largely remained absent from this toolkit. Evidence that proteins bearing allylsulfides ...

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 ...

Using ring-closing metathesis to exploit the properties of carbon-carbon double bonds, researchers from Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a new catalytic ...

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.
