Abstract
The condensation reactions of ferrocene with various ketones and with trichloroacetaldehyde in the presence of aluminum chloride were investigated. The formation of carbinol (7) as an intermediate was postulated in these reactions. In the reaction of acetone with ferrocene, the intermediate carbinol underwent further condensation with other ferrocene molecules to give oligomers (9). On the other hand, in the cases of methyl ethyl ketone, acetophenone, propiophenone, cyclohexanone, and trichloroacetaldehyde, the condensation reactions produced olefinic compounds via the intermediate carbinols. The intermediate carbinol was isolated together with the olefin in the reaction with trichloroacetaldehyde.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
