We have long been interested in developing new, practicable organometallic methodology for generalized olefin synthesis. We have noted1 that Cp2Zr (PR3) 2 reacts with simple phosphoranes (although slowly and in lowyield) to give Cp2Zr-alkylidenes; a variety of these (best made by an alternate route) condense with carbonyl-group-containing materials to give olefins in high yield. 2 We have also found that simple phosphoranes and Cp2Mo (PR3) analogues react readily, but the resulting product condenses rapidly with an additional equivalent of ylide to give only the symmetrical olefin. 3 We have now examined reactions between low-valent molybdenum compounds and diazoalkanes, another class of readily available organic “ylides” which has already enjoyed wide utili-zation as precursors of reactive carbene complexes through interaction with a variety of metallic complexes. 4 In contrast to our results using phosphoranes3 or of others with regard to diazo compound activation, 4 we find that diazoalkanesreact rapidly and in high yield with simple molybdenum complexesto give adducts,“metalloazines”; these demonstratesusceptibility to nucleophilic attack on the carbon end of the coordinated diazo unit. Conventional phosphoranes react with these adducts (which, ulti-mately, are carbonyl group derivatives) to give olefins in an or-ganometallic variation on the “Wittig” reaction. In contrast to this classical procedure which gives phosphine oxide in addition
