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.
