Olefin metathesis is a metal-mediated C-C bond exchange by which the two fragments within the olefin precursor are redistributed as a result of breaking the double bond to obtain a new product. Currently, most of the synthetic organic compounds, polymers, drugs, plastics, and other synthetic materials are synthesized via the application of olefin metathesis reactions. In this review, different types of olefin metathesis reactions with their plausible mechanisms and their application in synthetic organic chemistry have been discussed.

烯烃复分解反应作为合成有机化合物的绿色方法综述

烯烃复分解是一种金属介导的 CC 键交换，通过这种交换，烯烃前体中的两个片段由于双键断裂而重新分布以获得新产品。目前，大多数合成有机化合物、聚合物、药物、塑料和其他合成材料都是通过烯烃复分解反应合成的。在这篇综述中，讨论了不同类型的烯烃复分解反应及其可能的机制及其在合成有机化学中的应用。
