25. A related keto-alcohol ferrocenophane was reported as a minor product from the reaction of l,l'-bis(l-phenylvinyl)ferrocene with molecular oxygen in the presence of a range of Lewis acids; see reference [12b].
26. Only 25% of the diol mixture was recovered owing to slow oxidation of the ferrocene to a ferrocenium species as evidenced by the green colouration of the reaction mixture.

37. We do not discount the possibility that deprotonation (to provide an enolate intermediate) precedes oxidation.
