Abstract
Treatment of M(SnPh3)(CO)2{CPh(OEt)}(η-C5H5)(M = Mo, W) with LiBEt3H or MeLi followed by acid gives M(SnPh3)(CO)2(CPhR)(η-C5H5)(R = H, Me); one of these compounds, Mo(SnPh3)(CO)2(CHPh)(η-C5H5),undergoes a reversible SnPh3 to nonheteroatom stabilised carbene migration at ambient temperature.
