Y. Takemoto et al., Stereospecific 1,3-migration of an Fe(CO)(3) group on acyclic conjugated trienes bearing an electron-withdrawing group, TETRAHEDR L, 41(1), 2000, pp. 85-88
Treatment of acyclic conjugated (eta(4)-4-7)-triene Fe(CO)(3) complexes bea
ring an electron-withdrawing group at a terminal position with a base such
as KN(SiMe3)(2) and NaH promoted 1,3-migration of an Fe(CO)(3) group on the
triene, giving (eta(4)-2-5)-triene Fe(CO)(3) complexes. The 1,3-migration
of an Fe(CO)(3) group is revealed to proceed in a stereospecific manner. (C
