Participants

Reaction Steps

2-ferrocenylethyl alcohol obtained from Example 1 (0.8 g) is dissolved in 300 ml anhydrous ether and 0.4 g of pyridine are added. The solution of 0.5 ml methacryloyl chloride in 30 ml ether is added dropwise and the reaction is continued for four hours. The precipitate is removed by filtration and the ether solutions are combined, washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate, 5% hydrochloric acid, sodium bicarbonate again and dried. The ether is evaporated, leaving a brown viscous oil that is further purified by chromatography over silica (ether as eluent).
