Bridged ferrocenes. 12. Metalation and subsequent reactions of ferrocene derivatives with two or three trimethylene bridges

New chemical and stereochemical applications of organoiron complexes

“…A new work on iron porphyrins, ferrocenes and related iron compounds has been summarized; among the topics discussed are organic reactions of selected π-complexes [ 545 ], stereochemistry of metallocenes [ 546 ] and the recent chemistry of ferrocene compounds [ 547 , 548 ]. Other topics of recent interest are: bridged ferrocenes [ 549 ], reaction of the isodicyclopentadiene anion with Fe(II)(acac) 2 (Py) 2 (to yield ferrocene derivatives) [ 550 ], preparation of iron-polyarene sandwich compounds [ 551 ], and crystal structure of [ 2 ]metacyclo[ 2 ](1,1′) ferrocenophane [ 552 ].…”

{μ-2-[1-(N,N-Dimethylamino)ethyl]ferrocene-1,1′-diylbis(diphenylphosphine)-κ2 P:P′}bis[thiocyanatogold(I)]

“…Transition metal complexes with phosphine ligands containing ferrocene groups are currently receiving a great deal of attention, as shown by the large number of complexes reported with 1,1 0bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) as the chelating ligand with interesting properties and geometric features. Examples in the literature where it is employed as a ligand include the ruthenium-, rhodium-and palladium-catalysed hydrogenation of olefins (Butler et al, 1985;Cullen et al, 1985;, nickel-and palladium-catalysed Grignard cross-coupling reactions Brown & Cooley, 1990), and as a ligand for catalytic olefin reduction (Hillman et al, 1985). Catalytic reactions with gold include the gold(I)-catalysed aldol reactions of enolates with aldehydes to give optically active -hydroxycarbonyl compounds (Ito et al, 1986).…”
