Abstract

The iron(II) acetylide complexes 8, 12, and 13 reacted with diphenylketene, phenylethylketene, 3,3-dimethylbutanoyl chloride, 2-chloroacrylonitrile, diketene, dimethyl methylenemalonate, and 1,3-dicyano-l,3-butadiene to produce the corresponding formal [2 + 2] and [4 + 2] cycloadducts. The structures of (diphos)(Cp)FeC═C(Me)COC(Ph)2 (space group P2l/n (No. 14), Z = 4, a = 15.187 (2) Å, b = 18.548 (4) Å, c = 15.631 (2) Å,β = 109.16 (1)°, R(F) = 0.077) and (diphos)(Cp)FeC═C(CN)CH2C(═CH2) (space group Pna2l (No. 33), Z = 4, a = 18.860 (2) Å, b = 10.050 (1) Å, c = 15.733 (4) Å, R(F) = 0.038) were determined by X-ray crystallography.
