The catalytic hydrogenation of the indenyl complex(Me2SiSiMe2)[η5-Ind)Fe(CO)]2(μ-CO)2(2) in CH2Cl2 afforded the tetrahyroindenyl complex (Me2SiSiMe2)[(η5-IndH4)Fe(CO)]2(μ-CO)2 (3), existing as a mixture of cis and trans isomers (3c and 3t), which were separated by column chromatography. When the two isomers were heated in xylene, respectively, the cis substrate 3c rearranged to the trans product [Me2Si(η5-IndH4)Fe(CO)2]2 (4c). This indicates that the rearrangement reaction is stereospecific, which is consistent with the result observed in the rearrangement of complex(Me2SiSiMe2)[η5-t-BuC5H3)Fe(CO)]2(μ-CO)2(5). By analogy with the mechanism porposed based on detailed investigation of 5, the pathway for formation of 4 is described. Molecular structures of 3c, 3t, 4t, and 4c were determinde by X-ray diffraction.
