Resumen: Alkylidenecyclopropanes containing a chelation assistant at the terminal carbon atom of the olefinic moiety undergo an Os- or Ru-promoted ring expansion reaction to afford metal cyclobutylidene derivatives. The process occurs through a novel mechanism that implies a 1,2-migration of a CH2 group of the three-membered ring from an olefinic carbon atom to the other one. It takes place, without direct participation of the metal, on a metallaheterocyclopentene intermediate which is generated from an η2-methylenecyclopropane species stabilized by coordination of the chelation assistant.
