Abstract

Tricarbonyl(η⁵-4-triethylsilyl-1-methylpentadienyl)iron(+1) hexafluorophosphate was prepared by the protonation of γ-endo tricarbonyl (η⁴-5-triethylsilyl-3,5-hexadien-2-ol)iron with hexafluorophosphoric acid. The cation reacts with H₂O, CH₃OH, NaBH₃CN, PPh₃, sodium dimethylmalonate and dimethyl cuprate in a regiospecific fashion by nucleophilic attack at C1. The regioselectivity for nucleophilic attack appears to be predominantly the result of steric control.
