Metalation of isocyanides is achieved by an insertion of isocyanides into metal-metal or metal-carbon linkage of a variety of organometallic compounds giving the corresponding N-substituted (α-iminoalkyl)metal compounds. Synthetic applicabilities of N-substituted (α-iminoalkyl)metal compounds thus formed are demonstrated. 1. Introduction 2. Bis-metalation of Isocyanides with Organosilylstannanes 3.
