GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The oxidation reactivity of 1,1’-bis(o-substituted phenyl)ferrocenes was measured. For acetyl- and methoxycarbonyl derivatives, the accelerating effect found for mono substituted derivatives disappeared. This was accounted for by a proton transfer between the two carbonyl oxygens.
