• Unexpectedly, the ACS chemical data base afforded only three benzo - fused compounds related to the depicted 1,4-dioxane based substructure, indicating that little is known concerning the chemistry of this class of compounds

• The very few literature data dealing with this particular subject involve always the condensation of isolated (cisoid form) iron complexed cations with simple primary alcohols. The reported results can be sum up in the following manner: when R3OH adds to isolated cations 12 possessing an electron-donating alkyl group R4, adducts 14 are obtained17. On the other hand, if 12 possesses an electron-withdrawing group R4 like a methoxycarbonyl group, for example, mixtures of (E,Z)17- and (E,E)21 -η4-dienyl iron complexes of the following type are usually obtained

• Although qualified of “acidic”, these etherification conditions are, indeed, very mild. Removal of the molecular sieves from the ethereal medium followed by an aqueous washing shows an aqueous phase pH quite neutral
