Abstract
During the past 4 years the transition metal catalysed alkene cross-metathesis reaction has enjoyed increasing attention from organic chemists as a method for carbon-carbon bond formation. The impetus behind this was undoubtedly the development of well-defined functional group tolerant molybdenum and ruthenium alkylidene catalysts by Schrock and Grubbs respectively. In light of these recent advances, we review herein the cross-metathesis reactions of functionalised alkenes catalysed by well-defined metal carbene complexes. Acyclic cross-metathesis reactions are presented in a chronological order and are accompanied by discussion of mechanistic and selectivity issues. The formation of monomeric products from the related ring-opening cross-metathesis reaction is also covered and presented similarly.
