Abstract

The reaction of Fischer carbene complexes of the group 6 metals with acetylenes has become a reaction of demonstrated importance in synthetic organic chemistry.* The reaction of the phenyl complex 1 with alkynes produces naphthol complexes where the newly formed benzene ring incorporates the acetylene in the C-2 and C-3 positions of the naphthalene ring. The study of the reactions of heteroatom-stabilized carbene complexes with other ...
