Aromatic aldehydes react with Fe3(CO)12 in refluxing benzene ultimately to give arylmethyl alcohols and 1,2-diaryl-1,2-ethanedione in a 1:1 ratio. In some cases, small amounts of 2,4,5-triaryl-1,3-dioxolanes are formed as minor products. Dinuclear iron complex (1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanedioxido)Fe2(CO)7 has been isolated as an intermediate in the reaction of benzaldehyde with Fe3(CO)12. The mechanism of this
