Abstract
A comprehensive review of the reports in the literature concerning conjugation of polyunsaturated acid and their esters (vegetable oils such as: linseed oil, sunflower oils, rape oil, soybean oil; linoleic acid, methyl linoleate etc.) catalyzed by supported transition metals and their complexes is presented. The following issues are analyzed: chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity of the double bond migration in polyenes, mechanism of conjugation and accompanying isomerization process, hydrogenation and E-Z isomerization, stability of homo- and heterogenous catalysts, removal of catalysts from the post-reaction mixture, and possibility of catalysts recycling.
Keywords: Polyunsaturated Acids, Transition Metals, vegetable oils, linseed oil, sunflower oils, rape oil, hydrogenation, E-Z isomerization

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
