Abstract

Michael-type additions of amines and thiols to α, β-enoyliron (cyclopentadienyl) dicarbonyl complexes were carried out to give the corresponding new β-aminoalkanoyl-and β- thioalkanoyliron complexes in good to excellent yields. A β-aminoalkanoyliron complex was treated with bromine in the presence of triethylamine to give the expected β-lactam in an excellent yield.
