1271-42-7, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. Ferrocenecarboxylic acid, cas is 1271-42-7,the iron-catalyst compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
0120] Ferrocene (6.0 g, 32 mmol) and potassium tert-butoxide (0.46 g, 4.08 mmol) were completely dissolved in dryTHF (300 mL). The orange solution was cooled to -78C when tert-butyllithium (34.0 mL, 64.5 mmol, 1.9 M in pentane)was added dropwise over a period of 15 min, with the temperature maintained below -70C. The reaction mixture wasstirred at -78C for 1 h and then poured on a slurry of dry ice (excess) and diethyl ether. The mixture was warmed toroom temperature overnight and extracted with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (0.75 N, 4 x 250 mL). Thecombined aqueous layers were neutralized with hydrochloric acid (pH > 4) and the resulting orange solid was extractedwith Et2O (4 x 250 mL) until the organic layer remained colourless. The combined organic layers were filtered to removetraces of ferrocenedicarboxylic acid, dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressureto give ferrocenecarboxylic acidas an orange solid in 35% yield. After suspending the ferrocenecarboxylic acid (462 mg,2.01 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (23 mL), oxalyl chloride (1100 mL, 13.64 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added dropwiseto the reaction mixture whereby the orange suspension turned dark red. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 h andthen stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was then removed under vacuum. The product was not purifiedand used immediately for the next synthetic step.
The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis,1271-42-7,Ferrocenecarboxylic acid,I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
