67. Using chromium carbene complexes resulted in all cases in the formation of complex mixtures of unidentified products. In the same way, all attempts to carry out the [4 + 3] cycloaddition with αβ-unsaturated molybdenum carbene complexes, e.g. pentacarbonyl[(1-cyclohexenyl) methoxymethylene]molybdenum(0), at 25 and 60°C led to recovery of the starting materials and to products derived from decomposition of the carbene complex, respectively.
