Abstract

Dicyclopropylacetylene has been brought into reaction under photolytic conditions with Fe(CO)5 and under thermal conditions with Fe2(CO)9 and with Fe3(CO)12. It was possible to obtain primarily monoacetylene adducts or bis(acetylene) adducts by modification of the reaction conditions. In addition to products normally obtained from reactions of acetylenes with iron carbonyls, products derived from cyclopropane ring opening were important. Of particular interest are products which resulted from ring opening and carbonyl insertion to yield cyclopentenone derivatives. Experiments were attempted to show the interrelationships between the various products obtained.
