Abstract

The interaction of dihydropyridines with alkoxycarbene complexes of tungsten has been shown to lead to pyridinium ylid complexes: this transformation has now been applied to the synthesis of a hydroxyl-containing ylid complex by ring-opening of the pentacarbonyl (2- oxacyclopentylidene) tungsten (0) complex and to the synthesis of a series of chiral ylid complexes both from chiral and non-chiral carbene complexes by the use of ...
