Abstract
A series of pentadienyliron tricarbonyl cations has been prepared and reacted with the hydride ion donors sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, and lithium triethylborohydride in order to determine steric and electronic effects in these reduction reactions. Sodium cyanoborohydride yields products of retained configuration whereas lithium triethylborohydride yields dieneiron tricarbonyl compounds of inverted configuration. Kinetic and thermodynamic considerations are used to account for these results.
