Chemical transformations of 1,3,3,5-tetrachlorononane initiated by Fe(CO)5, Me(CO)6 and Mn2(CO)10 systems

Conclusions A study was carried out on the competitive reactions of CICH₂CH₂ClCH₂CHClC₄H₉ (A) generated from 1,3,3,5-tetrachlorononane by the action of Fe(CO)₅, Mo(CO)₆, and Mn₂(CO)₁₀ systems. The Mn₂(CO)₁₀ systems were most efficient for obtaining the reaction of (A) radicals with hydrogen donors, while the Fe(CO)₅ systems were most efficient for obtaining rearrangements of (A) radicals with 1,5- and 1,6-hydrogen migration and subsequent reaction with a chlorine donor and Mo(CO)₆ and Mn₂(CO)₁₀ systems were most efficient in effecting disproportionation of (A) radicals.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2623–2626, November, 1984.
