“…Donor–acceptor cyclopropenes, 186 generated in situ from enoldiazo compounds, are not only direct participants in CPEC reactions 81,132,169–177 but also important intermediates (in equilibrium with the corresponding metallo-enolcarbenes) in MECC reactions (detected during 1 H NMR monitoring). 102,122,132,152,167,168 Furthermore, the cyclopropenes, preformed from enoldiazo compounds under catalytic or thermal conditions, have proven to be effective metallo-enolcarbene precursors in several MECC reactions.…”
