Title: Chemistry of Cyclobutadiene-iron Tricarbonyl
Abstract: Cyclobutadiene-iron tricarbonyl is prepared through reaction of 3,4-dichlorocyclobutene and diiron enneacarbonyl. In an analogous manner, one can prepare 1,2-diphenyl-; 1,2,3,4-tetramethyl-; and benzocyclobutadiene-iron tricarbonyl complexes. Cyclobutadiene-iron tricarbonyl is "aromatic" in the sense that it undergoes facile attack by electrophilic reagents to produce monosubstituted cyclobutadiene-iron tricarbonyl complexes. Functional groups in the substituents display many of their normal chemical reactions which can be used to prepare further types of substituted cyclobutadiene-iron tricarbonyl complexes.
