| Abstract: | An improved technique for the preparation of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde and two new methods for the synthesis of ferrocenemonocarboxylic acid from the aldehyde or from acetyl ferrocene are described. Using the aldehyde or the monocarboxylic acid as starting materials, some important ferrocene key intermediates were prepared: monochlorocarbonyl ferrocene, alkali metal and ammonium ferrocenoates, ferrocene carboxyaldehyde diethylacetal, ferrocenecarboxamide, et …, as well as a new ferrocene derivative: piperazinium diferrocenoate. |
