Industrial Applications of Olefin Metathesis

  • Conference paper
Novel Metathesis Chemistry: Well-Defined Initiator Systems for Specialty Chemical Synthesis, Tailored Polymers and Advanced Material Applications

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 122))

Abstract

Olefin metathesis opens up new industrial routes to important petrochemicals, oleochemicals, polymers, and specialty chemicals. Industrial applications of the olefin metathesis reaction known until 1997 have been described elsewhere, including processes that have not been commercialized and processes that are no longer commercial [1]. Here we will discuss the present situation.
