(Cyclopentadienone)iron shvo complexes : synthesis and applications to hydrogen transfer reactions
A series of (cyclopendienone)iron tricarbonyl complexes were prepared using an intramolecular cyclization strategy. These were applied to the catalysis of the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. When paraformaldehyde was used as the hydrogen acceptor, formate esters were obtained as coproducts and, in several cases, the major products
