Synthesis And Selected Reactions Of [Pi]-(Arene) Chromium Tricarbonyls, Anthony L. Scaggs Jul 1973

Synthesis And Selected Reactions Of [Pi]-(Arene) Chromium Tricarbonyls, Anthony L. Scaggs

Master's Theses

This project was concerned wit hthe preparation of two pi-(arene)-chromium tricarbonyl compounds that could serve as a synthetic intermediates to more complex systems. These intermediates would be particularly well-suited for the preparation of mono-complexed diaryl compounds. The two intermediates selected were pi-(acetophenone) chromium tricarbonyl and pi-(benzyl bromide) chromium tricarbonyl. After the intermediates had been synthesized, their utility in several selected reactions was to be examined.
