Selective transformation of carbonyl ligands to organic molecules. Progress report, September 1, 1984-August 31, 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5716465

Progress report for this reporting period covers: (1) carbon monoxide fixation and synthesis reactions which includes C/sub 2/-C/sub 3/ oxygenated ligands and carbohydrate chemistry; (2) eta/sup 5//eta/sup 3/-indenyl tautomerization in promoting coordinated ligand reactions; (3) bimetallic activation of coordinated ligands which covers bimetallic eta (eta/sup 1/-C,O) acetyl complexes and bimetallic ..mu..-(eta/sup 2/-C,O) acetyl complexes. Some of the accomplishments include the following: incorporation of two carbonyls into the C/sub 2/-carbalkoxymethyl Fe complexes; conversion of the carbomethoxymethyl ligand on FpCH/sub 2/CO/sub 2/Me into the C/sub 3/ organic dimethyl malonate; investigation of synthesis reactions on transition organometallic complexes that incorporate CO ligands into a growing alkoxymethylene chain; and synthesis of Fe-Zr and Fe-W bimetallic u-(eta/sup 1/-C,O) acetyl complexes.
