Abstract

The first Dewar benzene–ferrocene conjugates were synthesised by the reaction of tetraalkylcyclobutadiene–AlCl3 complexes with 3-ferrocenylpropynoates. Owing to extensive delocalisation, these conjugates feature unusually high thermal and chemical stability, rearranging to their corresponding phenylferrocenes (benzenes) under forcing microwave irradiation conditions.
