Description
A source of ferrocene derivatives; the derived ferrocenium salts find use as mild oxidants Synthetic reagent used as as a source of useful ferrocene derivatives, including most substituted ferrocenes and precursor of substituted cyclopentadienes and cyclopentanes; the derived ferrocenium salts find use as mild oxidants; replacement of one ring by arenes yields cationic complexes which undergo nucleophilic addition and substitution at the arene ring, leading to substituted arenes
