Reactions of benzoyl (carbonyl) transition metal complexes with LiNMe2: on the feasibility of a reaction route to α-keto amide through an acyl (carbamoyl) cobalt …
Abstract CO-coordinated benzoyltransition metal complexes, PhCOCo (CO) 3 L (L PPh 3, PCy 3, and PMe 3), PhCOMn (CO) 5, have been prepared and their reactions with LiNMe 2 examined. The reactions give α-keto amide (PhCO-CONMe 2) after treating the systems with Br 2 or organic halides.
