Multiple choices : The carbyne C atom of 1 and the carbide of 2 arise from an N ‐methyl group of 1,3‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene. The synthesis of complex 1 , which involves activation of the three CH bonds of an N ‐methyl group, and that of complex 2 , which requires additional activation of the CN bond, provide new examples of metal‐mediated degradation of N‐heterocyclic carbenes.
