12. For an example of metal carbenoid addition to an electron deficient alkene, see T. Hudlicky and R. P. Short, J. Org. Chem., 1982, 47, 1522. However, in this example the reaction is intramolecular, which no doubt facilitates the process. It was also noted in this example that marginally higher yields were obtained in the presence of sulfides, suggesting the intermediacy of a sulfur ylide. We thank one of the referees for bringing this paper to our attention.
