Cross‐Metathesis on Immobilized Substrates – Application to the Generation of Synthetically and Biologically Relevant Structures

Olefin metathesis constitutes a seemingly endless area of research that has had an enormous impact on several branches of chemistry, both in industry and in academia. Once the potential of this reaction as a carbon–carbon bond‐forming tool was widely recognized, its adaptation to solid‐phase chemistry naturally followed. This review documents the applications and possibilities that polymer‐bound alkenes have provided in the challenging cross‐version of olefin metathesis, through efforts that are far from exhausted.
