The light fantastic: Tungsten(0) Fischer carbene complexes, previously considered to be photo-inert, produce, by adequately choosing the ligands, three classes of photoproducts (see scheme). Thus, irradiation of tetracarbonyltungsten(0) carbene complexes 1 leads to syn-metalated imines 2, amino complexes 3, and α-amino esters 4. Reasonable reaction pathways are proposed for all these processes.
