Abstract
The synthesis of the first stable enol linked to a ferrocene redox cen tre is reported. After one-electron oxidation of this compound we rece ive a persistent radical cation that can be activated by a second one- electron oxidation step. The resulting enol dication undergoes rapid d eprotonation to a diradical cation which finally furnishes two benzofu rans as products. The mechanism of this reaction and the role of the f errocene as a redox relay is discussed.
