Popis: The syntheses of methoxy- and trifluoromethyl-substituted benzocyclobutenone and benzocyclobutenedione tricarbonylchromium complexes are described. As with the unsubstituted complex, a route via the respective acetals was used. However, attempts to hydrolyze rac-tricarbonyl[1,2-bis(ethylenedioxy)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzocyclobutene]chromium(0) (rac-12) resulted in only a single hydrolysis and led to rac-tricarbonyl{η6-[2-(ethylendioxy)-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzocyclobutenone]}chromium(0) (rac-14) with different regioselectivity in comparison to the respective reaction of the methoxy-substituted derivative. The synthesis of the desired rac-tricarbonyl[3-(trifluoromethyl)benzocyclobutenedione]chromium(0) (rac-13) was finally achieved by a route via an acyclic diacetal. Compounds were characterized spectroscopically and in a number of cases also by crystal structure analyses. The unusual bending of the annelated cyclobutenedione ring toward the tricarbonylchromium moiety was observed for rac-tricarbonyl-[η6-(m...
