Dec 23, 2016 at 13:25 comment added Zhe Ugh... I should post comments so late at night. I just meant the organometallic species. So, that C-M is fully analogous to say $\ce{RMgBr}$. If you add water to the Grignard, it will protonate the "carbanion equivalent" species.
Dec 23, 2016 at 10:51 comment added NotEvans. Metal hydride? I'm talking about the collapse of the matallacyclobutane. There is no hydride on it to my knowledge.
Dec 22, 2016 at 21:32 comment added NotEvans. @Zhe, would you be able to elaborate on how the 'acid-base' chemistry might work.
Dec 13, 2016 at 1:35 comment added Zhe Isn't it just acid base chemistry at the end?
Dec 12, 2016 at 20:13 comment added NotEvans. @Zhe Perhaps. It seems like one obtains a mixture anyway (similar to Grignard + ester kind of problem?). In any case, the mechanism of the second step is still puzzling me, esp the breakdown using D2O
Dec 11, 2016 at 21:25 comment added Zhe I was thinking more along the lines of temperature. Also, I think you already noted this, but you might get an intermediate mixture under thermodynamic control before the quench with water.
Dec 11, 2016 at 20:08 comment added NotEvans. Tebbe reagent and some pyridine to help form the Schrock carbene. Usually use more than 1 eq anyway (i.e. not being super careful to control stoichiometry) but in the JOC paper cited they use a 1:1 ratio and still get some overaddition
Dec 11, 2016 at 20:03 comment added Zhe What are the typical reaction conditions?
