Photochemical reaction of a conjugated diacetylene with iron pentacarbonyl; preparation and structure of tetracarbonyl(2-methyl-3-prop-1-ynylmaleoyl)iron(O)
Abstract
U.v. irradiation of Fe(CO)5 and dimethyldiacetylene (DMDA) in tetrahydrofuran gave tetracarbonyl-(2-methyl-3-prop-1-ynylmaleoyl)iron(o), (1); its structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
