Studies on organolanthanide complexes - XXXVII. Reaction of dicyclopentadienylyttrium chloride with acyl chlorides in tetrahydrofuran. Acylative cleavage of the CpY π-bond and tetrahydrofuran ring - Qian, C.; Qiu, A.; Huang, Y.; Chen, W. (Elsevier)
Dicyclopentadienylyttrium chloride reacts with aromatic and aliphatic acid chlorides in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature, resulting in cleavage of the CpY π-bond to produce 1,5-diacylcyclopentadienes, and the acylative ring-opening of tetrahydrofuran. A possible reaction mechanism is proposed.
