Abstract

In this short review, a brief description about olefin metathesis (OM) by transition metal complexes is presented. Metathesis reactions in olefin (organic eye compounds) are mostly carried out using transition organic-metal complexes (OMC) such as ruthenium, rhenium, molybdenum and tungsten based, schorock, grubb’s, Hoveyda-grubb’s catalyst etc. These catalysts cause redistribution of π-bond of alkene by cross scission and rearrangement in compounds by the formation of cyclic (2+2cycloaddition) intermediate. OM reactions are efficiently used for the synthesis of neohexene by dimers of isobutene, conversion of detergent by shell higher olefin process and synthesis of many drugs.
