of η1-vinylidene complex 1 with an enamine. The reaction of 1 with enamines 2a−e leads to vinylcarbene complexes 3a−e in good yield. The first step of this transformation is a Mannich reaction on the β-carbon atom of alkynyltungsten complexes, generating the expected β-amino-alkylated η1-vinylidene complexes6. This intermediate reacts further to 3a−e by migration of the hydrogen atom adjacent to the
