Examples
For example, Friedel-Crafts acylation of ferrocene with acetic anhydride yields acetylferrocene citation just as acylation of benzene yields acetophenone under similar conditions.
Derivatives main After the discovery of ferrocene, the synthesis and characterization of derivatives of metallocene and other sandwich compounds attracted researchers’ interests.
Consequently, the initial challenge was to definitively determine the structure of ferrocene in the hope that its bonding and properties would then be understood.
Fischer et al. first prepared the ferrocene derivatives involving Co and Ni.
