Bis(eta-cyclopentadienyl) iron → HCID 178460910, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In the same apparatus and procedures as EXAMPLE 1 above, 0.30 g(1.61 mmol) of ferrocene was reacted with 0.92 mL(6.3 mmol) of allyldimethylchlorosilane under dry nitrogen atmospheric pressure for 2 hrs. After the addition of the catalyst solution, the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 2 hrs to complete the alkylation. The solvent was distilled off at atmospheric pressure and the products were then extracted with 20.0 ml. of hexane. The reaction products were distilled under vacuum at 200° C. and at 0.5 torr, and produced 0.1 g of (3-chloro-1,3-dimethyl-3-silabutyl)ferrocene (yield; 20%). The remaining products were vacuum distilled at 300° C. and at 0.5 torr, and 0.55 g of bis(3-chloro-1,3-dimethyl-3-silabutyl)ferrocenes(yield; 38%) was obtained.
