The synthesis of two types of so far unknown title compounds is described.
Carbene complexes LnM=C(R)O-SiR2- C(N-2)COOMe [LnM=(OC)(5)W (3), (OC)(5)Cr
(4), (OC)(5)Mo (5), (MeCp)(OC)(2)Mn (6)] were obtained from the correspondi
ng acyl metalates by electrophilic (diazomethyl)silylation. similarly, (dia
zomethyl)silylation of lithiated dicarbonyl(eta (5)-methylcyclopentadienyl)
(1-ethoxyethylidene)manganese yielded a manganese carbene complex (8a) with
CH2-SiR2-C(N-2)COOMe substitution. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
