“…All solvents were freshly distilled and used. Ferrocenecarboxylic acid, ferrocenecarboxamide, ferrocenylmethylamine, the sodium salt of carbomethoxycyclopentadiene, and tris(triphenylphosphine)cobalt chloride, as well as carboxylic acid, carboxamide, and aminomethyl derivatives of [η 5 -C 5 H 4 ]Co(η 4 -C 4 Ph 4 ) were prepared according to literature procedures. ,, Dimethyl carbonate, triphenylphosphine, oxalyl chloride (Spectrochem), picolinic acid, palladium acetate (Alfa Aesar), iodoarenes, and iodoalkenes were used as received. 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Spectrospin DPX-300 NMR spectrometer at 300 and 75.47 MHz, respectively.…”
