The reaction of organo‐transition metal compounds with CO has been investigated in the optically active iron complex (1) . Unlike CH 3 Mn(CO) 5 , the complex (1) is carbonylated with stereospecific insertion of the CO group present in the molecule into the Fe—CH 3 bond to give (2) . The η 2 ‐acetyl complex (3) (L = PPh 2 NMe—( S )‐CHMePh) is the most likely intermediate, also during de‐carbonylation.
