Abstract

A systematic investigation of the recently described method for the synthesis of η6-arenetricarbonylchromium complexes has been performed. The method gives the fair to excellent yields of complexes in a broad range of benzene derivatives and of some benzenoid arenes. Very low yields of products were obtained with benzene, 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-and 2-(3-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dioxolane. The method failed in the case of benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, benzyl chloride, nitrobenzene, thiophenol and chalcone.
