The addition of absolute acetic acid and of hydrogen azide to vinylferrocene has been shown to proceed in accordance with Markownikoff's rule. These addition reactions, which occur even at room temperature, demonstrate an unusual reactivity of the vinyl group. Vinylruthenocene and vinylosmocene have been prepared and these compounds also add absolute acetic acid readily. The rates of addition of acetic acid to the three ...
