Abstract: Triiron dodecacarbonyl reacts with mercaptans (RSH, R=Et, Me3C, CH2CH=CH2) in the presence of stoichiometric amount of Et3Nin THF to give the reactive salt Et3NH+[(μ-RS)(μ-CO)Fe2(CO)6]-. Reaction of the latter with acid chlorides (PhCOCl, p-MeC6H4COCl, α-C10H7COCl,PhCH=CHCOCl, CH2=C(CH3)COCl) have been studied. The reactions with aromatic acid chlorides give the complexes of type A, whereas those with α,β-unsaturated acid chlorides (phCH=CHCOCl, CH2=C(CH3)COCl) give the complexes of type Bas well as the corresponding complexes of type A.
