Dimethylamine is added to the triple bond of phenylacetylenyl(ethoxy)carbenepentacarbonyl-chromium and -tungsten at −20°C in diethylether while at −115°C, −80°C, respectively, selective aminolysis of the carbene-alkoxy group takes place. This way of reaction is referred to well known kinetic data of the aminolysis of alkoxy carbene complexes and the electronic properties of dialkylamino groups.
