(Arene) tricarbonylchromium complexes can be prepared simply by heating arenes with hexacarbonylchromium in high yield. These complexes undergo selective reactions on or adjacent to metal-complexed aromatic rings; removal of electron density from the arenes through coordination allows nucleophilic reactants to add to a carbon of the arene ring under mild reaction conditions and the bulky Cr (CO) 3 moiety can exert a large steric blocking effect causing stereo-selective reactions. Some typical experimental procedures are described.
