Abstract

A useful intermediate for organorhenium complexes is the alkyne complex 2, which can be formed from the tetrachloride 1. In the presence of catalytic amounts of HBF4 2 can undergo reaction with ethene and 2‐butene to give the 1,3‐diene complexes 3 and 4 respectively. Cl/ligand exchange is observed with 1‐butyne and acetonitrile in the presence of equimolar amounts of HBF4, but no CC bond formation occurs. (Figure Presented.)
