15. The reaction of the enynyl carbene 4b with lithium acetone enolate led to trienone 20 as a result of, (i) initial 1,2-addition of the enolate to the metal-carbene functionality, (ii) 1,3-shift of the metal fragment, and (iii) hydrolytic metal elimination. This behavior of Fischer carbene complexes toward carbon nucleophiles has been described. Barluenga J., Trabanco A.A., Flórez J., García-Granda S., and Llorca M.-A. J. Am. Chem.
