Metal-Catalyzed Metathesis of Fluorinated Alkenes: Still a Current Major Challenge

Whereas the olefin metathesis is recognized as a powerful tool to produce alkene, the use of fluoroalkenes in metathesis-catalyzed reactions still remains a major current challenge. Herein, we presented the main developments in that field both in ring-closing metathesis and cross-metathesis, highlighting the major improvements of these past years.
