Initiation, Propagation and Termination of Olefin Metathesis Reactions

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 506))

Abstract

Olefin metathesis is of great value in organic and polymer synthesis. The reactions do not occur spontaneously. They all require the presence of a catalyst system containing a transition metal compound (precursor), frequently in conjunction with a second compound (cocatalyst) and sometimes a third (promoter). Transition metals carbenes formed in these systems trigger the transalkylidenation (i.e. metathesis) of olefins [1] The carbene mechanism [2] is well documented and accepted: olefin coordination to the complex carbene leads to a mctallacyclobutane, which rearranges to give a new olefin and a new carbene [3].
