The synthesis and characterisation of a new series of #omega#-hydroxy-alkyl complexes of iron

摘要

#omega#-Hydroxy-alkyl compounds of the type, [Fe(#eta#~5-C_5R_5){(CH_2)_nCH_2OH}(CO)_2] (R = H and Me, n = 2-5, 7) were prepared by the oxidative hydroboration of the appropriate #eta#~1-alkenyl compounds of the general formula. [Fe(#eta#~5-C_5R_5){(CH_2)_(n-1)CH = CH_2}(CO)_2]. All new compounds were characterised by infrared, ~1H and ~(13)C NMR spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry.
