Metastable Intermediates (Isoindenes, Isofluorenes, and Isobenzofurans) from Alkyne Precursors via Free Carbenes
{{output}}
We report here reactions between a free carbene center and a suitably appended π-bond (C═X) that give rise to reactive intermediates that, in turn, undergo various types of additional transformations (cycloadditions, rearrangements, and ring openings). Parti... ...
