Yk. Yun et Kf. Mcdaniel, REACTION OF TRICARBONYL(ETA(6)-CYCLOHEPTATRIENYL)MANGANESE WITH ZINC-COPPER COUPLING REAGENTS, Tetrahedron letters, 36(28), 1995, pp. 4931-4934
Reaction of zinc-copper coupling reagents with tricarbonyl(eta 6-cyclo
heptatrienyl)manganese hexafluorophosphate provides (6-exo-substituted
-eta 5-cycloheptadienyl)manganese complexes in 48-78% yield. Attempts
to alkylate tricarbonyl(eta 6-benzene)manganese cations under similar
reactions conditions failed.
