Iron hydride complexes can be synthesized by many routes. Some typical methods are listed in Scheme 2. Protonation of an anionic iron complex or substitution of hydride for one electron donor ligands, such as halides, affords hydride complexes. NaBH4 and L1A1H4 are generally used as the hydride source for the latter transformation. Oxidative addition of H2 and E-H to a low valent and unsaturated iron complex gives a hydride complex. Furthermore, p-hydride abstraction from an alkyl iron complex affords a hydride complex with olefin coordination. The last two reactions are frequently involved in catalytic cycles.

Carbonyl Halides and Hydrides. Fe2(CO) reacts with HBr or HI and Fe(CO)j with HBr under u.v. light to yield the halogeno-complexes [Fe(CO)3.X]2. Structure (16) is postulated, on the basis of the close similarity in i.r. spectra with those of [Fe(CO)3SR]2 complexes. 

Benzylic halides are reduced very easily using complex hydrides. In a-chloroethylbenzene lithium aluminium deuteride replaced the benzylic chlorine by deuterium with inversion of configuration (optical purity 79%) [537]. Borane replaced chlorine and bromine in chloro- and bromodiphenylme-thane, chlorine in chlorotriphenylmethane and bromine in benzyl bromide by hydrogen in 90-96% yields. Benzyl chloride, however, was not reduced [5iSj. Benzylic chlorine and bromine in a jy/n-triazine derivative were hydrogeno-lyzed by sodium iodide in acetic acid in 55% and 89% yields, respectively [5i9]. 

Reagents of choice for reduction of epoxides to alcohols are hydrides and complex hydrides. A general rule of regioselectivity is that the nucleophilic complex hydrides such as lithium aluminum hydride approach the oxide from the less hindered side [511, 653], thus giving more substituted alcohols. In contrast, hydrides of electrophilic nature such as alanes (prepared in situ from lithium aluminum hydride and aluminum halides) [653, 654, 655] or boranes, especially in the presence of boron trifluoride, open the ring in the opposite direction and give predominantly less substituted alcohols [656, 657,658]. As far as stereoselectivity is concerned, lithium aluminum hydride yields trans products [511] whereas electrophilic hydrides predominantly cis products...

The procedures described below have consistently given stable, crystalline products for a number of tertiary phosphine copper hydride complexes. These complexes can be prepared by the careful reaction of lithium tetrahydrido-aluminate(l-) with tertiary phosphine copper halide complexes. The reactions are run in etheral solvents under an inert atmosphere. The resultant products are...
