Olefin metathesis is a metal-mediated C-C bond exchange by which the two fragments within the olefin precursor are redistributed as a result of breaking the double bond to obtain a new product. Currently, most of the synthetic organic compounds, polymers, drugs, plastics, and other synthetic materials are synthesized via the application of olefin metathesis reactions. In this review, different types of olefin metathesis reactions with their plausible mechanisms and their application in synthetic organic chemistry have been discussed.
