Abstract
In a two-phase system (saturated aqueous calcium hydroxide, tetrabutylamnonium sulfate, dichloromethane, iron pentacarbonyl) benzyl bromides are readily carbonylated to dibenzyl ketones; α-α′ dibromoorthoxylene yields the o-quinodimethane iron tricarbonyl complex 8. It is inferred that the reactions proceed through transient generation of the tetracarbonyl ferrate dianion.
