35. Notable exceptions include reactions involving the replacement of a sterically demanding group by a proton (release of steric strain leads to steric acceleration) and the formation of an intermediate complex between the solvent and the substituent, thereby leading to a strong +I effect of this group. The latter effect is for example believed to be responsible for the observed ortho-selectivity in the nitration of phenylboronic acid. See: Taylor, R. Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution; John Wiley & Sons: Chichester, 1990.

45. The 1-stannyl-2-borylferrocenes and 1-stannyl-3-borylferrocenes form as racemic mixtures as a result of their planar chirality. Only one of the two enantiomers will be shown in the schemes and figures.

51. The pseudotriplet at δ = 4.46 (J = 1.2 Hz) for isomer 2b-Cl is overlapping with the double doublet at δ = 4.46 for isomer 2a-Cl. The signal is clearly visible in enriched samples of 2b-Cl, and the assignment has been further confirmed by 2D NMR spectroscopy (dqfCOSY). The CpSn-H2, 5 protons for 2c-Cl resonate outside the spectral range shown in Figure 1 at δ = 3.88.
