Mechanisms are proposed for the hydroxide ion-initiated reactions of metal carbonyl halides which lead to allyl-transition metal complexes under phase transfer conditions.Evidence is presented for intermediate anionic metallocarboxylic acids in reactions leading to η3-allyl products of molybdenum, iron, ruthenium and magnanese, whereas η1 complexes are shown to result from halide displacement reactions in which simple metal carbonyl anions are generated.In some cases phosphorus-containing ligands inhibit the hydroxide-promoted reactions of metal carbonyl halideswith allyl bromide; a rationale involving decreased acidity of the carbonyl ligands is presented. syntheses of η3-C3H5Mn(CO)3P(OCH3)3 and η3-C3H5Mn(CO)22 by phase transfer catalysis are also described.
