Abstract
Addition of lithioalkenes to hexacarbonylchromium followed by alkylation with trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate provides a stereospecific route to pentacarbonyl-[alkenyl(methoxy)carbene]chromium complexes. For the E-butenylcarbene complex an approximately orthogonal dihedral angle between the carbene and the alkene plane is established by X-ray analysis.
