Reactions of coordinated cyclic polyolefins addition of carbonylcarbenes to tricarbonyl(cycloheptatriene)iron and the x-ray structure of tricarbonyl[(η-5,6,7,8)-2,3-diphenyl-4H-cyclohepta[b]furan]iron

Abstract

The copper catalysed reaction of ethyl diazoacetate with tricarbonyl(cycloheptatriene)iron gave the expected 8-ethoxycarbonyl-homotropylidene complex. However, the analogous reaction with azibenzil afforded the unusual oxidized adduct, tricarbonyl[(η-5-8)-2,3-diphenyl-4H-cyclohepta[b]furan]iron, whose structure was confirmed by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. In both reactions hexacarbonyl(bicycloheptatrienyl)diiron was obtained.
