This chapter discusses the synthesis and reactions of alkylcobalt and acylcobalt tetracarbonyls. This chapter reviews the methods of preparation and the chemistry of the alkylcobalt and acylcobalt tetracarbonyls. These compounds are among the most thoroughly studied of the organo-substituted transition metal carbonyl derivatives. Recent evidence suggests that the mechanisms of reaction of the various transition metal compounds are closely related. The information obtained from the alkylcobalt and acylcobalt tetracarbonyls provides a basis for predicting the reactions of other transition metal compounds. The very reactive alkylcobalt and acylcobalt tetracarbonyls produces the same products in most reactions. Some ligands can replace coordinated carbon monoxide in the complexes. Several reactions of alkylcobalt and acylcobalt tetracarbonyls are known to be useful for the synthesis of organic compounds, and organocobalt carbonyl chemistry will probably find its major applications in this area.
