The dications [Fe(arene)]2+ were transformed into mono- and heterobifunctional cyclohexadienes upon two successive regio- and stereospecific nucleophilic attacks. Electron, proton, hydride and hydrogen atom transfers play key activating and protecting roles in these reactions. 1. Introduction 2. Synthesis of Monofunctional Cyclohexadienes by Double Nucleophilic Attack 3. The Use of Protection by Hydride and Electron Transfer to Synthesize Heterobifunctional Cyclohexadienes 4. The Combined Use of Electron, Proton, Hydride and Hydrogen Atom Transfer 5. Conclusion
