Abstract

η5,η5-Fulvalenedimanganesehexacarbonyl (dicymantrenyl) was acetylated and benzoylated by RC(O)Cl+AlCl3 in CH2Cl2, under conditions of the Friedel-Crafts reaction. The reaction involves both nonequivalent positions of the cyclopentadienyl rings to give mixtures of two isomeric ketones. When using an excess of the acetylating mixture, diacetyl derivatives of dicymantrenyl were obtained.
