Addition of allyl isocyanate to results in oxidative addition of the nitrogen-carbon bond to the metal centre to afford the allylimido complex , which has been crystallographically characterized.Reaction with t-butyllithium results in rapid deprotonation of one of the α-hydrogens of the allyl moiety, a process which is reversed upon addition of water.Key words: Tungsten; Imide; Allyl; Carbonyl; Phosphine; Crystal structure
