    Abstract

    Ortho-lithiated N,N-dimethylaminomethyl ferrocene and benzyldimethylamine react with Cp*Fe(CO)2I to give the new complexes ((Cp*Fe(CO)2)-2-(CH2NMe2)C5H 3)Fe(Cp) and Cp*Fe(CO)2-C6H4(o- CH2NMe2). Access to a wide variety of alkoxy-substituted complexes ((Cp*Fe(CO)2)-2-(CH2OR)C5H3)Fe(Cp) can be easily achieved by tandem quaternization/alcoholysis of ((Cp*Fe(CO) 2)-2-(CH2NMe2)C5H 3)Fe(Cp). Preliminary results show that chelated complexes can be obtained by displacement of one of the carbonyl ligands by photolysis. Crystal structures of ((Cp*Fe(CO)2)-2-(CH2NMe 2)C5H3)Fe(Cp), ((Cp*Fe(CO) 2)-2-(CH2OR)C5H3)Fe(Cp) (R = Ph, Bz, CHPh2 and d-menthyl) and [Cp*Fe(CO)2-C6H4(o-CH 2NMe2)][I] are reported.
