Abstract

The arene salts [(arene)₂Fe](PF₆)₂ (arene = mesitylene 1a, and hexamethylbenzene, 1c) react readily with AlMe₃ in dichloromethane or dibromomethane to produce the novel exo-halomethyl-η⁵-cyclohexadienyl salts [(η⁵-exo-CH₂XC₆H₃Me₃)(η⁶-C₆H₃Me₃)Fe]PF₆ (X = Cl, 2d; X = Br, 2e) and [(η⁵-exo-CH₂XC₆Me₆)(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Fe]PF₆ (X = Cl, 2f; X = Br, 2g) which have been characterized spectroscopically and, in the case of 2f, crystallographically.
