Reactions of NaHFe(CO)(4)/RX or [HFe3(CO)(11)](-) reagents with alkynes lead to the formation of the corresponding cr,P-unsaturated carboxylic acids and/or the cyclobutenediones. The reagent; generated in situ using the NaHFe(CO)(4)/CH3I combination in THF, on reaction with alkynes followed by CuCl2. 2H(2)O oxidation, gives the corresponding cyclobutenediones (27-42%) and alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids (10-22%), whereas the reagent generated using CH2Cl2 in place of CH3I leads to a,P-unsaturated carboxylic acids (37-60%) and their derivatives (35-55%) at 25 degrees C. The same reagent system in the presence of acetic acid (4 equiv) yields the corresponding cyclobutenedione (33%). The reaction using Me3SiCl gives the corresponding alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids (45-54%) at 25 degrees C and the corresponding cyclobutenediones (51-63%) at 60 degrees C. Interestingly, the reaction of the [HFe3(CO)(11)](-) species generated using Fe(CO)(5)/NaBH4/CH3COOH, with alkynes at 25 degrees C, followed by CuCl2. 2H(2)O oxidation gives the corresponding cyclobutenediones (60-73%). The possible intermediates and pathways for the formation of alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids and cyclobutenediones are discussed.
