Electroorganic Synthesis Using Organometals. 2. Reductive Dehalogenation of Halides with Carbonylferrates Derived from Pentacarbonyliron(0) and Cathodically-Generated Methoxide Ion

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.62.2424

A stoichiometry for the reductive dehalogenation of an organic halide with carbonylferrates was established: One mol of the halide was quantitatively reduced with the carbonylferrates derived from 0.2 mol of pentacarbonyl iron(0) and 2 mol of cathodically-generated tetramethylammonium methoxide.The dehalogenation was also examined using a variety of halides under the stoichiometric reaction conditions.
