und Sodafabrik, West Germany. Triiron dodecacarbonyl was prepared according to literature.19 Photochemical Reaction of (-f)-a-Thujene (I) with Fe(CO)s.Irradiation was carried out for 1 h under nitrogen in petroleum ether (40-60 °C) solution using a Philips HPK-125 lamp in a water-cooled quartz immersion vessel. Reaction solutions of 1 g of I and 2.7 g of Fe(CO)s in ~300 mL of solvent were employed. The product mixture was filtered through Celite and the solution evaporated on a rotary evaporator. The residue (1.0 g) was washed with cold ether and recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran. The light yellow crystals of III melted at 106-107 °C, yield 62%.
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.
