Summary
-
1.
A study was made of the rearrangement of benzyl(ferrocenylmethyl)dimethylammonium chloride under the action of nucleophilic reagents (butyllithium, potassamide, and benzylmagnesium chloride), and it was shown that a ferrocene nucleus stabilizes an adjacent carbanionic center less powerfully than a benzene nucleus does.
-
2.
A new type of ylid isomerization was discovered: it occurs when butyllithium acts on benzyl(ferrocenylrnethyl) dimethylammonium chloride.
