Dimeric Metal Complexes as Mediator for Radical C-C Bond-Forming Reactions
Giese, Bernd,Thoma, Gebhard
, p. 1135 - 1142 (1991)
Irradiation of dicarbonyl(η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron dimer 1 or decacarbonyldimanganese (2) in the presence of alkyl halides leads to C-centered radicals which can be trapped by alkenes and yields saturated and/or unsaturated addition products.Carbon radicals are generated via halogen abstraction by the initially formed metal-centered radicals resulting from homolysis of the metal-metal bond of dimeric mediators 1 and 2.No reaction occurs using octacarbonyl dicobalt (3).
