Abstract

Primary amines undergo chloromethylation with CH2O/SOCl2 to give RN(CH2Cl)2, which in turn react with Li2[Fe2S2(CO)6] to give Fe2[(SCH2)2NR](CO)6; in the case of R = CH2CH=CH2 and CH2CH2SMe, Me3NO-induced decarbonylation afforded pentacarbonyl derivatives wherein the pendant functionality is coordinated to Fe.
