Although , (Fp=η-C5H5Fe(CO)2) (I) is stable and characterizable, the lower homologue FpCH2CH(CO2CH3)2 (II) is not; this we attribute to a facile elimination reaction resulting from the reactively acidic β-hydrogen of II.Formation of I from Fp- and XCH2CE2CH3 (X=Br, Cl; E=CO2CH2CH3) and cleavage of its Fe-C bonds (using H+, Br2, CeIV and HgII) occur without major amounts of ester group migrations, even though CH2CE2CH3 radicals are involved in some of these reactions.
