Abstract

The reaction of acyclic and cyclic ethers with acid halides in the presence of catalytic quantities of Group VI metal carbonyls [AI (CO) 6, where 11= Cr, Mo, W] was investigated. The catalytic order of effectiveness was found to be RIO (CO)~> W (C0) s> Cr (C0) B with 310 (C0)~ being a very useful catalyst for the reaction. The group VA substituted molybdenum carbonyls, ENo (CO),[E=(C~ HS)~ P,(C6Ha) 3As] and cis-[(CeH&P] &Io-(CO) ...
