Addition of trimethylsilyl chloride to a mixture of Na2Cr(CO)5 and a variety of tertiary amides produced (aminocarbene)pentacarbonylchromium(0) complexes in fair to excellent yield. The procedure developed is a rapid, convenient, one-pot process and permits the synthesis of carbene complexes not readily available by other synthetic routes. These carbene complexes have potential application in the synthesis of β-lactams and α-amino acids.
