Abstract

Two convenient new syntheses of ferrocenoyl chloride by triphosgene were reported. Firstly, ferrocenoyl chloride was conveniently prepared in 61.5% yield when triphosgene was reacted with ferrocene carboxylic acid in methylene dichloride at room temperature in the presence of triethylamine and DMAP. This new method for the synthesis of ferrocenoyl chloride enjoys a number of advantages in that the reaction is carried out under mild ...
