A variety of η 6 -arene-η 5 -cyclopentadienyliron cations in which the arene ligand has an α-carbon substituent containing one or more hydrogens can be deprotonated with base to give the corresponding neutral zwitterionic species. These zwitterions can react insitu as nucleophiles with different substrates, such as CH 3 I, CO 2 , and CS 2 , to give a wide range of synthetic applications.
