Abstract

Reactions of [cyclopentadienyl)(1, 3-dichlorobenzene) M]+ PF6-complexes (M= Fe, Ru) with phenoxide nucleophiles were found to proceed with excellent selectivity under mild conditions to give products of monosubstitution. Using aminophenoxides, a preference for 0- arylation was observed, while amino alcohols such as prolinol react selectively on nitrogen. Methodology for sequential selective displacement of both chlorides by different ...
