The chemistry of Fischer carbene complexes and alkynes is extremely fertile and is known to produce 4-alkoxyphenols, phenols, furans, cyclopentadienes, cyclobutenones, vinylketenes, cyclohexadienones, 1, 3-dienes, pyrones, and cyclopentenone~.~-~ A year ago we communicated the first examples of the intramolecular reactions of alkyne carbene complexes of the type 1 involving the annulation of the carbene complex 1 with a number ...
