| Abstract: | The reactions of Fe(CO)5, Fe(CO)4P(C6H5)3, M(CO)6 (M W, Mo, Cr), and (CH3C5H4Mn(CO)3 with KH and several boron and aluminium hydrides were investigated. Iron pentacarbonyl was converted quantitatively to K+Fe(CO)4-(CHO) by hydride transfer from KBH(OCH3)3 allowing isolation of P(C6H5)3]2-Nn+Fe(CO)4(CHO)? in 50% yield. Lower yields were obtained with LiBH(C2H5)3, and other hydride sources gave little or no formyl product. The stability of Fe(CO)4(CHO)? in THP was found to depend on the cation, decreasing in the order P(C6H5)3]2N+ > K+ > Na+ > Li+. No formyl complexes were isolated and no spectroscopic evidence for formyl formation was observed in the reactions of the other transition metal carbonyls with several hydride sources. Fe(CO)4-P(C6H5)3 gave K2Fe(CO)4 when treated with KHB(OCH3)3. When treated with LiBH(C2H5)3, W(CO)6 gave a mixture of HW2(CO)10?and (OC)5W(COC2H5)?; the latter was methylated to give the carbene complex (OC)5WC(OCH3)C2H5. |
