Conversion of (2-methyl-1-azabuta-1,3-diene)tricarbonyliron(>0>) complexes into (enamine)tricarbonyliron(>0>) complexes

Abstract

Treatment of (2-methyl-1-azabuta-1,3-diene)tricarbonyliron(>0>) complexes with lithium diethylamide followed by a proton source leads to the formation of (enamine)tricarbonyliron(>0>) complexes in good yield.
