Many assertions in an article titled “The metathesis reactions: from a historical perspective to recent developments” by Didier Astruc (New J. Chem., 2005, 29, 42) are incorrect and misrepresent the history of the olefin metathesis reaction. Despite the availability of differing accounts, the errors in Astruc's article have not been recognized. I point to some of them here.
