The catalytic decarbonylation of aldehydes using iron porphyrin complexes
The aim of this project was to investigate the use of iron porphyrin complexes as potential homogeneous catalysts for the decarbonylation of aldehydes. Complexes of the type Fe(TPP)L₂ (where L = n-Bu₃P, PPh₃ or piperidine) were prepared and reacted with CO gas, or with aldehydes as sources of CO. Si...
