C=C Bond forming Reactions: Part II



C=C bond forming reactions

4. Alkene Metathesis

Alkene metathesis or olefin metathesis is a C=C forming reaction in which the components of two alkenes are redistributed to form a new C=C bond. This fascinating reaction led to the award of Nobel Prize to Chauvin, Grubbs, and Schrock collectively in 2005. They have worked enormously on the reaction mechanism and kinetics of alkene metathesis.

Organic Chemistry: C-C Bond forming Reactions



One of the most important reactions in organic chemistry are the C-C bond forming reactions. Following are some of the reactions for forming a single bond between carbon atoms.
