Aromatic Rings
In the formation of diacetylferrocene, the product is always the one in which each ring is monoacetylated. Why is no diacetylferrocene produced in which both acetyl groups are on the same aromatic ring?

Solution Preview
This is because of the electron density (e.d.) or the nucleophilicity of the ring. Acetyl groups are an electron withdrawing group, so the substituted ...
