The reaction of <b>1</b> with activated acetylenes containing at least one alkoxycarbonyl group afforded the compounds [Re{N(<i>p</i>Tol)C(R‘)C(R)C(OH)}(CO)<sub>3</sub>(bipy)] (<b>4a</b>−<b>c</b>). The formation of the metallacycle present in these compounds involves the activation of one of the carbonyl ligands of <b>1</b>. The structures of the complexes <b>2</b>, <b>3</b>, and <b>4b</b> have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. <sup>13</sup>C NMR and crystallographic data indicate that the metal-bonded carbon atom of the metallacycle possesses carbene character.
