Catalytic asymmetric olefin metathesis.
This paper provides a survey of the first examples of efficient catalytic enantioselective olefin metathesis reactions. Mo-catalyzed asymmetric ring-closing (ARCM) and ring-opening (AROM) reactions allow access to myriad optically enriched compounds that are otherwise difficult to access.
