Cross-coupling reactions between stable carbenes.
By utilizing stable carbenes with low-lying LUMOs, coupling with the stable nucleophilic diaminocyclopropenylidene was achieved. This reaction resulted in the formation of two new and rare examples of a bent allene as well as the isolation of the first carbene-carbene heterodimer.
