Catalyst for allylic substitutions
Reactant for:
- Mixed disilyl-substituted cyclopentadiene derivatives
- Synthesis of catalytically active ansa compounds with cycloalkyl moieties
- Stepwise assembly of mixed metal dinuclear carbonyl complexes
- Cycloaddition of M(CO)3-coordinated-cyanoazepine with alkynes
By refluxing Hexacarbonyltungsten in Acetonitrile in an inert atmosphere. Removal of solvent under an inert atmosphere yields tris(acetonitrile)tricarbonyltungsten. Solutions of the reagent can be prepared by photolysis of hexacarbonyltungsten in acetonitrile.
core: tungsten
reagent type: catalyst
Air and thermally sensitive; pyrophoric. Use in a fume hood.
