Ultimately, these efforts have contributed to olefin metathesis becoming the indispensable synthetic tool that it is today . 

In 1887 M Arthur and Forrest took out their patents (English Patents, 14,174/87 10223/88) for using dilute KCN or NaCN solutions for extracting gold from ores, and in a few years from that date the manufacture of cyanides on an industrial scale was well established.
