Olefination
Under olefination is meant chemical reactions for the production of carbon -Kohlenstoff- double bonds . However, the term is mostly used in the narrower sense as a synonym for a carbonyl olefination reaction.
Carbonyl olefination reactions
- Barton-Kellogg olefination
- Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction
- Julia olefination
- Kauffmann olefination
- Lombard methylenation
- McMurry reaction
- Nosomi-Hiyama-Kishi-Takai reaction
- Petasis reaction
- Peterson olefination
- Takai methylenation
- Takai olefination
- Takeda olefination
- Tebbe reaction
- Wittig reaction
Other olefinations
Occasionally, reactions that lead to carbon-carbon double bonds through elimination are also referred to as olefination. Organometallic reactions such as the Heck reaction are also referred to as the olefination of aromatics in analogy to the carbonyl olefinings.
