The title compound 1,3,4-triphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene (1), a stable carbene, is chemically characterized via its reactivity towards a multitude of organic substrates. Its behaviour in insertion, addition and cycloaddition reactions allows its classification as a typical representative of nucleophilic carbenes. VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, 1996.
