“…Insertion reactions of 1 with carbon monoxide, 3c,d isocyanides,3e and isocyanates 3f were also studied. 1 reacts with CO in pyridine to give dimesityl ketone and a dihydropyridine dimer, which represented the first example of N-acylation of a pyridine by CO mediated by a transition metal complex 3d. Isocyanides react with 1 , affording dimesityl imine (mes 2 CNR), mesitylamide (mesCONHR), and dinuclear μ-oxo-η 2 -iminoacyl complexes [mesMo(C(mes)NR)O] 2 (μ-O) (R = t Bu, C 6 H 11 , CH 2 C 6 H 5 ) 3e.…”
