Iron(0) mediated C-H activation of 1-hexyne: a mechanistic study using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Photolysis of an iron tricarbonyl complex in the presence of 1-hexyne results in the activation of the terminal C-H bond to yield an iron-alkynyl species. The reaction proceeds through a single transition state with an activation enthalpy of 13.5 kcal mol(-1). The resulting molecule may have potential as a C-C bond formation reagent.
