An improved technique for the preparation of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde and two new methods for the synthesis of ferrocenemonocarboxylic acid from the aldehyde or from acetyl ferrocene are described. Using the aldehyde or the monocarboxylic acid as starting materials, some important ferrocene key intermediates were prepared: mono-chlorocarbonyl ferrocene, alkali metal and ammonium ferrocenoates, ferrocene carboxyaldehyde diethylacetal, ferrocenecarboxamide, et . . ., as well as a new ferrocene derivative: piperazinium diferrocenoate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
