Fischer Carbene Complexes as Chemical Multitalents: The Incredible Range of Products from Carbenepentacarbonylmetalα,β-Unsaturated Complexes

An experimental–theoretical approach to the kinetics and mechanism of Michael type addition: α,β-Unsaturated tungsten Fischer carbene complex as the substrate

“…In the past two decades, the chemistry of Fisher carbene complexes, especially the a,b-unsaturated [1], has attracted increasing attention from various synthetic groups [2]. They are involved in the formation of phenol (Dö tz product) [3] and indene derivatives [4].…”

Recent advances in the field of multicarbene and multimetal carbene complexes of the Fischer-type

“…The reactivity of Fischer carbene complexes containing α,β-unsaturated carbon substituents with a variety of organic substrates have been thoroughly investigated and extensively reviewed [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][84][85][86][87]. Well-known classes of monocarbene complexes used as precursors in organic synthesis via organometallic intermediates are those displaying carbene substituents with a-unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds.…”

Conformational preferences of heteronuclear Fischer carbene complexes of cymantrene and cyclopentadienyl rhenium tricarbonyl

“…Metal carbene complexes as discovered by E.O Fischer in the 1960's, have since been established as irreplaceable building blocks for the synthesis of organic molecules [1,2]. Fischer carbene complexes have found application in cycloaddition reactions [3], heterocyclization [4], catalytic carbene transfer reactions [5] and in the so-called Dötz benzannulation reactions [6].…”
