Abstract
Abstract The reaction of 2-[(dicarbonyl)(η 5 -cyclopentadienyl)iron]acetaldehyde with organolithium and Grignard reagents results in efficient addition to the aldehyde carbonyl. The intermediate alkoxides have been treated with tetrafluoroboric acid to give high yields of isolated η 2 -alkene complexes of the dicarbonyl(η 5 -cyclopentadienyl)iron cation. Using this procedure the following alkenes were produced as complexed ligands to iron in 50–90% yield: propene, 1-hexene, 3-methyl-1-pentene, 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene, 1,3-butadiene, and styrene.
