Insertion reactions are some of the most common and important reactions in organometallic chemistry. Aside from being mechanistically interesting, they have proven useful in organic synthesis and have been postulated in catalytic cycles. A subset of the broad group of insertion reactions is the insertion of carbon monoxides of group VIB metal carbonyl complexes into early-transition-metal alkyl, aryl and hydride bonds. Although the coupling of metal alkylidenes with metal carbonyl complexes is rare in monometallic systems, such coupling is frequently postulated in heterogeneous Fischer-Tropsch systems to yield surface-bound ketene fragments. The formation of bound ketene in bimetallic and cluster complexes has been documented. Herein the authors report the coupling of titanocene methylidene with Cr(CO)/sub 6/ to yield a titanocene ketene complex.
