When the two isomers were heated in refluxing xylene, the cis substrate 2c rearranged to the trans product [Me2Si(c-C6H11C5H3)Fe(CO)2]2 (3t), while the trans substrate 2t to the cis product 3c.

• 通过柱层析分离到2的顺反两种异构体2c和2t；并分别进行热重排反应；发现顺式底物2c重排生成反式重排产物[Me_2Si(c-C_6H_(11)C_5H_3)Fe(CO)_2]_2(3t)；而反式底物2t重排则生成顺式重排产物3c.
