“…The synthesis of 1,5-dioxo-3-substituted [5]ferrocenophanes has been recently reported to occur in high yield by simple mixing of 1,1’-diacetylferrocene 1 and a suitable aldehyde in NaOH/ethanol solution under microwave irradiation [ 32 ]. The reaction can be also applied to salicylaldehydes, but better results were obtained using the corresponding O -benzylderivatives, so 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldeyde were reacted with p -methylbenzylbromide in acetone in the presence of CsCO 3 at room temperature for 12 h to afford compounds 2 and 3 in almost quantitative yields.…”

“…The residue was purified on a Silica gel column and protected aldehyde 2 was recovered in 92% yield. In a 100 mL flask equipped with a reflux condenser, diacetylferrocene 1 (2 mmol), aldehyde 2 and NaOH were mixed in 1:1:10 mol ratio and dissolved in 4:1 v/v EtOH/H 2 O (20 mL) and the mixture was subjected to 50W microwave irradiation for 30 min with 80 °C temperature setting [ 32 ]. After dilution with CH 2 Cl 2 the mixture was extracted with satd.…”

“… In 2008, a similar microwave-assisted Claisen–Schmidt condensation was utilized to form 1,5-dioxo-3-ferrocenyl[5]ferrocenophane compounds 239 , which contain a bridging C 5 chain between the two cyclopentadienyl rings of the same ferrocene unit and are compounds of interest for their electronic properties (Scheme ). Complexes 239 were isolated in a short time and in moderate to good yields after submitting a solution of 1,10-diacetylferrocene 238 to microwave irradiation in the presence of an aldehyde and sodium hydroxide.…”

Alternative Technologies That Facilitate Access to Discrete Metal Complexes

Organometallic complexes: these two words jump to the mind of the chemist and are directly associated with their utility in catalysis or as a pharmaceutical. Nevertheless, to be able to use them, it is necessary to synthesize them, and it is not always a small matter. Typically, synthesis is via solution chemistry, using a roundbottom flask and a magnetic or mechanical stirrer. This review takes stock of alternative technologies currently available in laboratories that facilitate the synthesis of such complexes. We highlight five such technologies: mechanochemistry, also known as solvent-free chemistry, uses a mortar and pestle or a ball mill; microwave activation can drastically reduce reaction times; ultrasonic activation promotes chemical reactions because of cavitation phenomena; photochemistry, which uses light radiation to initiate reactions; and continuous flow chemistry, which is increasingly used to simplify scaleup. While facilitating the synthesis of organometallic compounds, these enabling technologies also allow access to compounds that cannot be obtained in any other way. This shows how the paradigm is changing and evolving toward new technologies, without necessarily abandoning the round-bottom flask. A bright future is ahead of the organometallic chemist, thanks to these novel technologies. CONTENTS1. Introduction 7530 2. Technologies 7530 2.1. Grinding and Milling 7530 2.2.

“…Microwave-enhanced organometallic reactions were first reported 20 years ago when Mingos, Baghurst and coworkers carried out the syntheses of [M(diene) 2 Cl] 2 complexes from RhCl 3 and IrCl 3 , as well as the synthesis of [Cp 2 Rh]PF 6 from RhCl 3 , using methanol or ethanol as solvent [9]. In subsequent years, these researchers and others have prepared dozens of metal arene and/or Cp complexes by microwave heating [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Several microwave-assisted ligand substitution reactions involving group 6 metal carbonyls have also been reported [17][18][19].…”
