Abstract
The conversion of acyl dicarbonyl cyclopentadienyliron compounds Cp(CO )(2)Fe(COR) into aldehydes is not straightforward. It is shown here, m ainly from electrochemical results, that the hydrogenolysis of the met al acyl bond can be efficiently achieved by trialkytin hydrides under very mild conditions, according to a chain reaction process initiated by an electron transfer to the acyl complex. The expected aldehyde is formed together with the heterobinuclear iron-tin complex. (C) 1998 El sevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
