Reaction Steps

Ferrocenyl-nitropropene is prepared by reacting 2.14 g ferrocenecarboxaldehyde with 2.25 g nitroethane 1.40 g ammoniumacetate and 10 ml of glacial acetic acid during 24 hours at room temperature in the dark. After heating the reaction mixture 2 hours at 100° C. and dilution with 100 ml of ice-water the formed ferrocenyl-nitropropene is extracted with diethylether. The organic solution is washed successively with Na2S2O4 -containing water, with diluted ammonia and finally with water until neutral. After drying and evaporating the diethylether, the residue obtained is recrystalized from methanol. The desired ferrocenyl-nitropropene is obtained in a yield of 80%; m.p. 48° C.; TLC: Rf (diethylamine/diethylether 5/95) 0.86.
