Abstract
The electrophilic iron-carbene chelate complexes 1 and 2 react with alkoxides RO- to give the neutral chelate complex 3 and the carbene complex 4, respectively. Depending on the nature of the chelating ortho substituent, selective activation of the Ar-Cl or Ar-C bond occurs; these processes are promoted by the chelation.
