As a common heterocyclic compound, it belong iron-catalyst compound,Ferrocene,102-54-5,Molecular formula: C10Fe,mainly used in chemical industry, its synthesis route is as follows.,102-54-5
To a solution of ferrocene (1; 5.00 g, 26.87 mmol) in anhydrous CH 2 Cl 2(30 mL), a solution of acetyl chloride (2.01 mL, 28.21 mmol) and AlCl 3(3.94 g, 29.55 mmol) in anhydrous CH 2 Cl 2 (40 mL) was added at 0 C.The reaction temperature was allowed to rise to r.t., and the dark-vio-let solution was stirred for 2 h. The reaction was quenched by addi-tion of ice-cold water (70 mL) at 0 C and the mixture was extractedwith CH 2 Cl 2 (3 ¡Á 70 mL). The collected organic layers were washedwith a solution of Na 2 CO 3 (50 mL), dried over Na 2 SO 4 , filtrated and thesolvent was removed under reduced pressure. Crude product (dark-orange solid) was purified by chromatography on SiO 2 (hexanes/EtOAc = 4:1; R f = 0.3) to afford target product 2.Yield: 4.45 g (73%); orange solid; mp 85-86 C (lit. 20 85-86 C).1 H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl 3 ): delta = 4.78-4.76 (m, 2 H), 4.55-4.42 (m, 2 H),4.20 (s, 5 H), 2.40 (s, 3 H).NMR spectra are in agreement with those of the commercially avail-able product.
With the synthetic route has been constantly updated, we look forward to future research findings about Ferrocene,belong iron-catalyst compound
