Facile synthesis of amino-functionalised ferrocenes and vanadocenes

Abstract

We report a general and high yielding route to the synthesis of late and early metallocenes; reported is an amino-functionalised vanadocene which is an unusual example of a 1,1-substituted vanadocene outside of a group 14 substituted derivative.
