Over the past two decades, the π-base {WTp(NO)(PMe3)} has been shown to have the unusual ability to dearomatize benzenes through the coordination of two carbons (η2). (1,2) Such binding renders the uncoordinated portion of the arene similar to a conjugated diene, both structurally and chemically. This feature has been used to actualize a wide variety of chemical transformations that are complementary to other dearomatization strategies.
