Iron carbonyl complexes 7, generated by the reaction of cationic cycloheptadienyl complex 6 [L = P(OPh)3] with appropriate nucleophiles, can be converted into bicyclooctenones 9 and 10 via carbonylative decomplexation. Treatment of 7 with CO (200 bar) at elevated temperatures yields the ketones 10 as the main products. Thus, carbonylation is accompanied by double bond migration.
