Synthetic applications of lithiated tricarbonyl-η6-arenechromium(0) complexes: copper and palladium catalysed substitutions
Abstract
Regioselectively lithiated tricarbonyl-η6- arenechromium(0) complexes can be acylated and allylated in high yield via the analogous arylcopper dimethyl sulphide complexes, and vinylated and arylated via palladium catalysed cross coupling of the arylcopper dimethyl sulphide complexes with vinyl and aryl halides.
