Carbon–carbon triple bond cleavage at room temperature with nonacarbonyldi-iron: synthesis of [Fe3(CO)9(µ3-CMe)(µ3-CNEt2)]
Abstract
An aminoalkyne CC triple bond has been cleaved at room temperature in the presence of [Fe2(CO)9] using a sodium diphenylketyl catalyst; a di-µ3-carbyne cluster is formed.
