Alkenyl, alkynyl and vinyl Fischer carbene complexes of group 6 are of particular interest, because they can be involved in diverse cycloaddition reactions that offer access to heterocyclic and carbocyclic rings. Moreover, they can readily undergo novel cascade processes or unique rearrangement reactions, making them fascinating substrates from both synthetic and mechanistic points of view.This research highlights the preparation and early reactivity studies of the vinyl carbenes toward nitrones and exo-2-oxazolidinone dienes.
