Metathesis in the general sense is the formation of a product that has exchanged bonds between starting materials.

Uses a molybdenumcatalyst
Shows greater reactivity than the first generation Grubbs catalyst, particularly with sterically demanding and electron deficient olefins
• Commercially available• Reasonably stable toward H2O, O2, and
minor impurities ease of handling• Lower reactivity vs. Molybdenum imido
alkylidene catalyst• High functional group tolerance
Increased initiation would permit lower catalyst loadings and reaction temperatures and improve efficiency.
Addition of phosphine scavengers (HCl, CuCl).However, these additives limit catalyst lifetime and functional group tolerance.

Stereoselctive RCM
RCM of temporarily connected dienes
Fujimure, O.; Grubbs, R. H. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 2499-2500.
Experiments done by Chatterjee et al showed that the various olefin metathesis substrates could be classified by their relative reactivity
Type I: formed homodimers rapidlyType II: formed homodimers slowlyType III: didn’t form homodimers, participate in CMType IV: spectator olefin, no CM reaction

Type I Type II Type III Type IV
The most effective selective CM reactions involve the reaction of a type I olefin with a less reactive type II or III olefin.
