In a two-phase system (saturated aqueous calcium hydroxide, tetrabutylammonium sulfate, dichloromethane, iron pentacarbonyl) benzyl bromides are readily carbonylated to dibenzyl ketones ; α-α' dibromoorthoxylene yields the o-quinodimethane iron tricarbonyl cmplex 8.It is inferred that the reactions proceed through transient generation of the tetracarbonyl ferrate dianion.
