Procedure

2-ferrocenylethyl alcohol was synthesized by reducing ferrocenyl acetic acid with lithiumaluminum hydride. 1.4 g of LiAlH4 are placed in a flask containing ether and equipped with a soxhlet apparatus. Ferrocene acetic acid (0.9 g) is extracted by this apparatus for 48 hours. After cooling, the excess reagent is decomposed with water and the solution washed thoroughly with a solution of sodium bicarbonate, dried and evaporated to dryness. The residual oil is crystallized from hexane. It has a melting point of 41° C.
