In this Dalton Transactions Perspective, Aaron Odom from Michigan State University examines single-step methods for the conversion of one type of metal-ligand multiple bond to another. These reactions have a wide variety of applications in organic synthesis, e.g. in carbonyl olefination.
The Perspective includes recent examples from the author’s own laboratory on metallacycles prepared directly from an imido ligand.
