Abstract
Mercuration and bromination reactions of ferracarborane 3-(eta (5)-Cp)-4-SM e2-3,1,2-FeC2B9H10 (1) were investigated. Mercuration of 1 under mild condi tions (mercury trifluoroacetate in dichloromethane) results in 8-monosubsti tuted mercury derivative as the only reaction product. Depending on the rea ction conditions, bromination of 1 results in 8-mono- or 7,8-disubstituted bromo derivatives. The structures of the monomercury and dibromo derivative s of 1 were established by X-ray analysis.
