Iron Carbonyl Promoted Additions of Perhalomethanes to Carbon-Carbon Double Bonds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo01308a003

The addition of CCl4 and CBrCl3 to carbon-carbon double bonds, catalyzed by Fe2(CO)9 and Me3NFe(CO)4, is reported.In the case of CCl4, these reactions afford α,α,α,γ-tetrachloro-substituted derivatives with simple alkenes, whereas with norbornadiene and w
