Diene–dienophile-functionalized carbene ligands: synthons for the intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction
Abstract
The diene–dienophile-substituted carbene complex pentacarbonyl(1-furfurylamino-2-methylprop-2-enylidene) tungsten undergoes a stereospecific intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction leading to a trans-fused hexahydroisoindolidene complex, the crystal structure of which has been determined.
