Abstract

The synthesis and study of a cyclic (alkyl)(amido)carbene is described. The carbene was found to undergo C–H insertion at low temperatures, formed cyclopropenes upon exposure to alkynes, and facilitated desulfurization reactions. Spectroscopic studies revealed that the carbene is strongly π-accepting but retains a complimentary degree of σ-donating properties.
