Abstract
The three azirinyl complexes [Ru]-C=NCHR (R = CN, CH=CH2, Ph) are obtained from deprotonation of isonitrile complexes. For R = Ph, three isomers inclu ding 1H- and 2H-azirinyl complexes are observed at low temperature. Inserti on of C=O groups of acetone, aldehyde, ester, and amide into the azirinyl l igand follows regiospecificity opposite that in the photochemical-induced i nsertion of the organic azirine system.
