Many examples of olefin metathesis processing have been described to date, confirming that this technology can be successfully implemented after focused optimisation efforts along with selection of a catalyst matching substrate and reaction conditions requirements Many ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts are now commercially available, facilitating metathesis technology application in both academia and industry
Fine changes in the catalyst architectures often result in dramatic productivity improvements. For example, bulkier ligands shield the ruthenium metal centre from unproductive coordination, effectively stabilising the catalyst in the presence of otherwise troublesome functional groups

Strem Chemicals in collaboration with Apeiron Synthesis, Inc have released a kit useful to organic synthetic chemists, olefin metathesis also promises cleaner, cheaper, and more efficient industrial processes
