Kp. Gable, CONDENSATION OF VICINAL DIOLS WITH THE OXO COMPLEX (CP-ASTERISK-RE(O))I(MU-O)2 GIVING THE CORRESPONDING DIOLATE COMPLEXES, Organometallics, 13(6), 1994, pp. 2486-2488
Reaction of vicinal diols with {CpRe(O)}2-(mu-O)2, prepared in situ f
rom CpReO3 and PPh3, leads to formation of rhenium (V) diolates of th
e type CpRe(0)(diolate) in moderate to good yields.
