N. Morita et al., REACTIVITY OF (2,4-CYCLOHEPTADIENE-1,6-DIONE)FE(CO)(3) - SYNTHESIS OFHINOKITIOL AND 8-DIPHENYLHEPTATRIAFULVALENE-1,6-QUINONE)FE(CO)(3), Journal of organometallic chemistry, 570(2), 1998, pp. 265-274
The reactivities of tricarbonyl(2,4-cycloheptadiene-1,6-dione)iron tow
ard several kinds of nucleophiles and electrophiles were investigated.
As a result, it was found that tricarbonyl(2,4-cycloheptadiene-1,6-di
one)iron has several reaction sites and undergoes several types of rea
ctions. A new synthetic route to hinokitiol and yl-(7,8-diphenylheptar
iafulvalene-1,6-quinone)iron from (2,4-cycloheptadiene-1,6-dione)iron
was explored. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
