Ruthenium Catalysts for Olefin Metathesis: Understanding the Boomerang Mechanism and Challenges Associated with Stereoselectivity

Ruthenium-alkylidene catalysts are widely used in organic synthesis to generate new C=C bonds in a process known as olefin metathesis. Much research has been dedicated to examining the organometallic species responsible for this transformation, and understanding the benefits and limitations of curre...
