A negative crossover experiment performed in the 1960s which ruled out Wanzlick's tetraaminoethylene-diaminocarbene equilibrium gave erroneous results, according to a recent claim by Denk. In response, this system has been reinvestigated. When potassium h

Contrary to earlier studies, mixtures of enetetramines A=A and B=B readily exchange their carbene units upon heating (100 - 175 °C) to give the cross-over olefins A=B. The absence of such exchange reactions has formerly been used as evidence against the d
