Abstract

The reaction of [Fe(CO)5] with LiR (R = C6H3Me2-2,6) provides [Fe{C(OLi)R}(CO)4], which reacts with I2 or HgCl2 in the presence of PPh3 to provide respectively [Fe(η2-OCR)I(CO)2(PPh3)] or Hg[Fe{C(O)R}(CO)3(PPh3)]2; the latter has been characterized by X-ray diffraction. The reaction of [Fe(η2-OCR)I(CO)2(PPh3)] with K[HB(pz)3] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) leads to [Fe{C(O)R}(CO)2{HB(pz)3}] which is converted thermally to [Fe{HB(pz)3}2].
