Arenechromium Tricarbonyls in Organic Synthesis

The characteristic features of the chemical properties of arenechromium tricarbonyls, caused by the change in the reactivity of the aromatic groups and the organic substituents linked to them on passing from ArH to ArHCr(CO)₃, are examined and data concerning the application of arenechromium tricarbonyls in organic synthesis are surveyed.
