74. On the basis of this proposal, it was realized that ring expansion would occur if an imine derived from 2-aminomethylpyrrole were employed (see below): (matrix presented) Unfortunately, the reaction of the benzaldehyde imine with carbene 3 did not afford the corresponding pyrrolodiazepine, but only decomposition products were formed.

77. Regarding the metal there are only minor variations, all related to yields, when shifting from chromium to tungsten complexes. This is in sharp contrast with our previous results in the cyclization reactions of simple 1-azadienes with alkynyl Fischer carbene complexes (see refs 4e and 22).
