Abstract
The complexation of a Cr(CO)3 unit to an aromatic hydrocarbon enhances the benzylic position towerds attack by base and the resulting carbanion reacts with carbonyl compounds to produce a complexed alcohol; this reaction may be used to functionalize the benzylic position of an aromatic hydrocarbon.Keywords
