Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments. category: iron-catalyst. Introducing a new discovery about 1273-86-5, Name is Ferrocenemethanol
THE ELECTROPHILIC SUBSTITUTION OF FERROCENE BY PROTONATED CARBONYL COMPOUNDS
The alpha-ferrocenylalkyl carbenium ions are formed from ferrocene and carbonyl compounds in strongly acidic media, in particular mixtures of fluorosulfuric acid and trichloroacetic acid.The alpha-ferrocenylalkyl carbenium ions are scavenged by nucleophiles or bases.The addition of nucleophiles produces the corresponding alpha-substituted ferrocenyl alkanes.Proton abstraction by base from the beta-position leads to the ferrocenylethene derivatives.Such electrophilic substitutions of ferrocene by carbonyl compounds, followed by suitable scavengeing of the alpha-ferrocenylalkyl carbenium ion, form the basis of one-pot syntheses of various ferrocene derivatives.
THE ELECTROPHILIC SUBSTITUTION OF FERROCENE BY PROTONATED CARBONYL COMPOUNDS
Note that a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both the forward and the reverse reactions and hence accelerates both the forward and the reverse reactions.category: iron-catalyst, you can also check out more blogs about1273-86-5
