Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)87274-4

Directing groups work first in concert and then in competition to control the introduction of aryl and 2-dimethylaminoethyl groups by a sequence of two nucleophile additions to cationic tricarbonyl(η⁵-cyclohexadienyl)iron(1+) intermediates in a
