Silene-zirconocene complex

One interesting recent addition is a silene—zirconocene complex proposed in the reaction shown in Scheme 1.16 [94]. 

In this multi-authored monograph, several experts and leaders in the field bring the reader up to date in these various areas of research (synthesis and reactivity of zirconaaziridine derivatives, zirconocene-silene complexes, ste-reodefined dienyl zirconocenes complexes, octahedral allylic and heteroallylic zirconium complexes as catalysts for the polymerization of olefins and finally the use of zirconocene complexes for the preparation of cyclopropane derivatives). It is their expertise that will familiarize the reader with the essence of the topic. 

Insertion reaction of alkyne and zirconium-silene complexes 883, which are generated from disilylzirconocenes 882 prepared from the reaction of zirconocene dichloride with 2equiv. of Me2PhSiLi, affords...
