Reactions of benzoylsilane with benzylpentacarbonylmanganese (1) give
ortho-eta(2)-manganese complexes in high yield. The derived aldehyde c
omplex can then be formed by fluoride-catalysed desilylation of the ac
ylsilane complex. Coupling reactions of the acylsilane complexes with
alkenes or alkynes are reported.
