(Benzylideneacetone)iron tricarbonyl is the organoiron compound with the formula (C6H5CH=CHC(O)CH3)Fe(CO)3. It is a reagent for transferring the Fe(CO)3 unit.[1] This red-colored compound is commonly abbreviated (bda)Fe(CO)3.

Structure and bonding[]

(bda)Fe(CO)3 is an example of a complex of an η2-ketone. It is a piano stool complex. The compound is characterized by IR bands at 2065, 2005, and 1985 cm−1 (cyclohexane solution), the three bands being indicative of the low symmetry of the complex, which is chiral.

Synthesis, reactions, related reagents[]

Crystals of (Benzylidenacetone)iron tricarbonyl

It is prepared by the reaction of Fe2(CO)9 with benzylideneacetone.[2]

(bda)Fe(CO)3 reacts with Lewis bases to give adducts without displacement of the bda.[3]

Another popular source of Fe(CO)3 is Fe2(CO)9. Alternatively, Fe(CO)3(cyclooctene)2 is highly reactive, the trade-off being that it is thermally sensitive. Imine derivatives of cinnamaldehyde, e.g. C6H5CH=CHC(H)=NC6H5, also form conveniently reactive Fe(CO)3 adducts, which have been shown to be superior in some ways to (bda)Fe(CO)3.[4]
