Ketenimine complexes are readily available in great variety by reaction of isocyanides with carbene complexes. They have proven to be useful building blocks in new synthetic approaches to carbocyclic and N ‐heterocyclic four‐, five‐, and six‐membered rings. The reactions involve new metal‐induced bond formation patterns of the ketenimine ligands, which can be influenced across a wide range by varying the following five parameters: the metal, the ligands, and the three substituents on the NCC unit.
