Abstract
Exchange of the cyclopentadienyl ligand from methylcyclopentadienyl-manganese-tricarbonyl by benzene, toluene, xylene, mesitylene and other aromatics with AlBr3 as catalyst gives cationic aromatic manganesetricarbonyl complexes. The amount of AlBr3 and the addition of aqueous HBr do not only influence the yield but also the purity of the products. With this new method C6H6Mn(CO)3+ can be prepared in high yield from a relatively inexpensive starting material.
