Abstract

Regioselectivity of the addition of the highly functionalized zinc-copper reagents to (η3-allyl)Fe(CO)4 cationic salts was studied. For 1,1-disubstituted allyl cation 1, the zinc-copper reagents added predominantly at the unsubstituted terminus. For 1,1,2-trisubstituted allyl cation 2, reactive zinc-copper reagents attacked mainly at the unsubstituted terminus while less reactive zinc-copper reagents added to a coordinated CO ligand. For 1,1,3-trisubstituted allyl cation 3, the addition occurred at both the less substituted allyl terminus and a coordinated CO ligand.
