The title compounds constitute a unique class of heterocumulenes because of their high reactivity and tendency to di-, tri- or polymerize. The chemistry is reviewed with particular emphasis on synthetic methods, stability and reactivity in heterocyclic synthesis. 1. Introduction 2. Six-Membered Ring Isocyanates 2.1.
