14. We are surprised at the inversion of the stereochemistry because it has been reported that the displacement of a dimethylamino group in the chiral ferrocenyl amine by the methoxide ion proceeds with retention. The mechanism of the inversive dimethylaminophenylmethyl case may be different from that of the retentive dimethylaminoethyl case. (a) Marquarding, D.; Klusacek, H.; Gokel, G.; Hoffmann, P.; Ugi, I.
