Abstract

1.'The tetracarbonyl ferrate dianion, an excellent nucleophile, is fiit readed with an alkyl halide to form the acyliron intermediate 6, the result of initial formation of a carbon-iron bond followed by CO insertion. The intermediate 6 can also be prepared directly from 1 upon reaction with acid halides. It is less reactive than 1 and is alkylated only by the very reactice primary alkyl iodidea The reagent 1 was shown to react cleanly with primary bromides and ...
