Light-induced aminocarbene to imine dyotropic rearrangement in a chromium(0) center: an unprecedented reaction pathway.
1,2-Dyotropic rearrangement can be induced by irradiation of properly functionalized Fischer carbenes. This novel reaction takes place by a stepwise mechanism and with double inversion of configuration at the static scaffold. Good yields are obtained with both cyclic and acyclic structures, thus suggesting that this unprecedented transformation can be extended to other organometallic systems.
