Abstract
The electrophilic reactivity of arenes coordinated to the chromium tricarbonyl unit has been developed into several distinct methods for coupling carbon nucleophiles with aromatic rings. Addition of the nucleophile produces stable η5-cyclohexadienyl chromium complexes which can be oxidized to induce loss of the endo hydrogen and the metal, overall nucleophilic substitution for hydrogen. Alternatively, the intermediate can be protonated ...
