Abstract
The tricarbonyl(vinylketene)iron(o) complex 6 reacted with dimethyl ma leate, dimethyl fumarate, (E)-methyl 4-oxopent-2-enoate and (E)-ethyl 4,4,4-trifluorobut-2-enoate to give decarbonylated adducts 7-10 respec tively. An X-ray crystal structure analysis of the adduct 7, formed fr om the complex 6 and dimethyl maleate, and a mechanistic explanation f or the formation of the adducts are presented. Oxidation of the adduct s. 7-10 using (NH4)(2)Ce(NO3)(6) gave a range of organic products incl uding the tetrasubstituted cyclopropanes 20 and 23-25, the cyclobutane -1,2-dione 22, the trisubstituted lactone 21 and the alpha,beta-unsatu rated ketone 26.
