Abstract

The reactions of the acylmetal complexes trans-[M (PPh3), C1 (RCO)] where M is Pt or Pd and R is CH3, C6H5CHz, or C6H5 with the halogens (X,) chlorine, bromine, or iodine yield the carboxylic acid halides RCOX. The carboxylic acid bromides and iodides subsequently undergo exchange to form the carboxylic acid chlorides. The addition of bromine to trans-[Pt (PPh3), C1 (PhCO)] in the presence of (PPN) Cl gives benzoyl bromide. The reactions of ...
