57. The original preparations of phenylcyclohexadienyliron complexes by conventional methods employing hydride abstraction required Chromatographic separation of the precursor diene complexes and, in the 2-phenyl case, gave the product only as the minor component of a mixture with the 3-phenyl regioisomer. The lack of easily scalable regioselective access to these salts has held back the development of their use as intermediates in organic synthesis.

64. Relative to the directing substituent, ipso refers to addition at the site of substitution, a refers to addition beside the substituent, and to refers to addition at the end of the it system remote from the substituent. This labeling system has recently been discussed in detail and extended to allow internal nucleophile addition to be described: G. R. Stephenson. "Polyfunctional Electrophilic Multihapto-organometallics for Organic Synthesis" in Handbook of Functionalised Organometallics (Ed.: P. Knochel). Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2005, pp. 569-626. In cases where more than one unsymmetrically placed substituent exerts a directing effect, if both substituents promote nucleophile addition at the same position in the π system, this is termed "mutually reinforcing", otherwise the directing groups are described as "opposed".

94. A recent critique has suggested that the reactivity-selectivity principle may not be generally applicable, but the authors conclude that a decrease in selectivity with increasing reactivity can be expected in the case of fast reactions that are close to the diffusion control limit so the principle is most likely to be valid when applied to highly reactive cationic electrophiles: H. O. Mayr, A. R. Ofial, Angew. Chem. 2006, 118, 1876-1886;
