Organometallic molecular trees as multielectron and multiproton reservoirs CpFe+-induced non-allylation of mesitylene and phase-transfer-catalyzed synthesis of a redox-active nonairon complex. [E Moulines, L. Djakovitch, R. Boese, B. Gloaguen, W. Theil, J. L. Fillaut, M. H. Delville, D. Astruc, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1993,32(7), 1075-1077] [ 126]. 

Scheme 9. Synthesis of metallo-stars starting with the CpFe+-induced hexaalkoxybenzylation of hexamethylbenzene. Examples of redox-active hexametallic stars synthesized by reactions of metal-free hexaphenate with organometallic...

Scheme 19. One-pot, large-scale, high-yielding CpFe+-induced nonaallylation of mesitylene and subsequent functionalization of the olefinic branches leading to redox-active nonametallic dendrimers.

Scheme 12. Octa-alkylation, -allylation, or -benzylation of durene in high yields by a series of eight deprotonation/alkylation (or allylation or benzylation) sequences induced by the 12-electron activating group CpFe+ in a one-pot reaction under mild conditions.

Scheme 22. Heterolytic C-O cleavage reaction in aryl ether complexes by tBuOK or KOH, induced by the activating 12-electron fragment CpFe+. This reaction is very useful and has been applied to the convenient one-pot synthesis of the pheno l-tri al lyl dendron (see Scheme 23).
