Nucleophilic addition of tri-n-butylphosphine to the tricarbonyl(benzene)manganese cation
Abstract
A re-investigation of the reaction of tributylphospine with [(C6H6)Mn(CO)3]BF4 shows that, contrary to previous belief, ring addition occurs to give the new phosphonium complex [(C6H6PBu3)Mn(CO)3]BF4.
