Abstract
The chemistry of Fe + -alkene ions with chlorobenzene is studied in the gas phase by laser-desorption Fourier transform mass spectrometry. The reaction between Fe + -ethylene and chlorobenzene occurs via initial insertion of Fe + into the Cl-C bond, followed by ethylene migratory insertion into the Fe + -phenyl bond. Subsequent β-hydrogen abstraction and HCl elimination completes the reaction. In the case of Fe + -propene, a remarkable selectivity governing the migratory insertion step is present, resulting in the formation of Fe + -β-methylstyrene
