Handbook of Metathesis, Volume 2: Applications in Organic Synthesis, 2nd Edition

The tremendous success of the metathesis reaction over the last decade is reflected in its huge impact on organic, polymer, and organometallic chemistry. It is highly reliable and produces few by-products, making it environmental friendly. Beside its academic use, many industrial applications in petrochemistry, agro- and pharmachemistry, as well as in the field of fine chemicals and material science have been developed and further underscore the importance of this fascinating reaction.
The second edition of the "bible" in this field is completely updated and features more than 80% new content, with emphasis on new developments in the field, especially in industrial applications. No other book covers the topic in such a comprehensive manner and in such high quality.
Edited by the Nobel laureate R. H. Grubbs, and D. J. O´Leary, this volume focuses on applications in organic synthesis. With a list of contributors that reads like a "Who's-Who" of metathesis, this is an indispensable one-stop reference for chemists in academia and industry.
