New access to (η5-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)3 and cationic (η6-arene)Mn(CO)3 complexes by Suzuki–Miyaura reaction

Abstract

First Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions applied to (η(5)-chloro-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)3 complexes are described and lead to the syntheses of (η(5)-aryl-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)3 and of cationic (η(6)-arene)Mn(CO)3 complexes after rearomatization. The structures of two of the new complexes have been investigated by X-ray diffraction study.
