Iron pentacarbonyl is an efficient promoter of addition to the carbonyl group of pentafluorobenzene of alkyl a-halocarboxylates and alkyl halides. The electron-acceptor character of the pentafluorophenyl group essentially affects the course of reaction and the nature of the arising products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
