This review describes a distinct class of ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts featuring
unsymmetrical N‐heterocyclic carbene (uNHC) ligands, from its historical beginning to the …

Second-generation ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts were investigated with systematic
variation of the unsymmetrical uNHC ligands. Depending on the uNHC steric bulk, the …

A series of tunable CAAC-based ruthenium benzylidene complexes with increased
lipophilicity derived from a ketone being a large-scale produced key substrate for a popular …

The search for a low-cost process for the valorization of linear α-olefins combining high
productivity and high selectivity is a longstanding goal for chemists. Herein, we report a …

A ruthenium metathesis catalyst Ru1 bearing a cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) ligand
is used in the ethenolysis reaction of biosourced 90% pure undistilled ethyl oleate or …

Two ruthenium hydride complexes commonly proposed as agents of unintended
isomerization during olefin metathesis are examined for their activity in isomerization of …

A sustainable protocol of olefin metathesis in non-degassed, undistilled ethyl acetate under
air with commercially available self-scavenging ruthenium catalysts is described …

In our search for more-selective olefin metathesis catalysts, a series of Hoveyda–Grubbs-
type second-generation complexes bearing unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) …

Automated methods for molecular design navigate chemical space by ranking candidate
compounds against predefined, numerical design metrics. To date, metrics for …

Macrocyclic musk belongs to a well‐known and valued class of the fragrance family.
Originally, natural musks were obtained from rectal musk glands which often led to the death …
