Abstract

Treatment of Cp₂Fe₂(CO)₄ with LiAlH₄ produces CH₄, C₂H₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₆, C₃H₈, C₄H₈ and C₄H₁₀. The exact ratio depends on the amount of LiAlH₄ used and on the length of reaction. All reactions were carried out with LiAlD₄, confirming that CO is reduced with LiAlH₄ as the only hydrogen source. By preparing potential intermediates (CH₃FeCp(CO)₂, C₂H₅FeCp(CO)₂ and CH₃C(O)FeCp(CO)₂) and treating them with LiAlD₄, we have found evidence for a CO insertion mechanism in chain propagation. Other hydridic reagents were used, the reactivity for the reduction of CO decreases LiAlH₄ 〉 NaBH₄ 〉 LiEt₃BH.
