New Route for the Preparation of Acylcobalt Tetracarbonyls from Ketenes and HCo(CO)4
Ungvary, Ferenc
, p. 824 (1984)
Hydridotetracarbonylcobalt reacts rapidly at -79 deg C with dimethyl ketene and ethyl ketene to give quantitatively isobutyrylcobalt tetracarbonyl and n-butyrylcobalt tetracarbonyl, respectively.
THE PREPARATION OF ACYLTETRACARBONYLCOBALT COMPOUNDS FROM KETENES AND HYDRIDOTETRACARBONYLCOBALT
Ungvary, Ferenc
, p. 251 - 256 (2007/10/02)
Ketenes (R1R2C=C=O, R1, R2= H or alkyl)react rapidly at -79 deg C with hydridotetracarbonylcobalt in a 1/1 molar ratio to form quantitatively the corresponding acyltetracarbonylcobalts, which can be isolated in good to exellent yields.Electron-withdrawing substituents in the ketene lower the reactivity towards HCo(CO)4.
