2-Substituted bicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-en-8-ones by carbonylation of cycloheptadiene-derived iron carbonyl complexes bearing alkyl-alkyl subunits

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1995-3940

Iron carbonyl complexes 7, generated by the reaction of cationic cycloheptadienyl complex 6 [L = P(OPh)₃] with appropriate nucleophiles, can be converted into bicyclooctenones 9 and 10 via carbonylative decomplexation. Treatment of 7 with CO (2
