Abstract
Olefin metathesis, an expression coined by Calderon in 1967, has been accurately described by Ivin and Mol as “the (apparent) interchange of carbon atoms between a pair of double bonds”. This remarkable conversion can be divided into three types of reactions, as illustrated in this chapter. These reactions have been used extensively in the synthesis of a broad range of both macromolecules and small molecules. The main focus of this chapter is on acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization as a versatile route for the production of a wide range of functionalized polymers.
