Studies on the formylation of the tricarbonyl(monosubstituted cyclo-octatetraene) iron derivatives [Fe(CO)3(C8H7X)](X = Me, Ph, Br, or CPh3)
Abstract
The products of formylation of the title compounds have been examined. The site of electrophilic attack (CHCl
[graphic omitted]Me2) appears to be governed largely by two steric factors, the bulk of both the substituent X and the Fe(CO)3 unit, rather than substituent inductive effects.
