The isolation and reactivity of important intermediates in transition-metal-mediated reactions are of interest in both organometallic and synthetic organic chemistry. Studies of these intermediates not only play an important role in the indepth understanding of seemingly complicated reaction mechanisms, but can also lead to the discovery of new synthetically useful reactions. We have reported a zirconocene-mediated intermolecular coupling reaction of one molecule of a silyl-tethered diyne with three molecules of organonitriles, which afforded pyrrolo [3, 2-c] pyridine derivatives (5-azaindoles) upon hydrolysis of the reaction mixture [Eq.(1)].[1, 2]The most interesting feature of this above one-pot reaction is that five components are involved and integrated in a perfect selective manner via an unknown pathway, which tempted us to investigate what is really going on.[3] We anticipated that novel and important reaction patterns might be involved. Indeed, we have now finally discovered that the process that combines all the five components together is very unusual, unpredictable, and of general importance to metalmediated reactions involving the cleavage of CN triple
