Incorporation of CO and NO Ligands in the Reaction of Benzyl Bromides with Tetrabutylammonium Tricarbonylnitrosylferrate

Reaction of benzyl bromides with tetrabutylammonium tricarbonylnitrosylferrate afforded N-benzylphenylacetamides via incorporation of CO and NO ligands accompanied with dibenzyl ketones. A noticeable substituent effect on the amide-forming reaction was observed.
