Aromatic substitution of olefins. Part XVII. Reactions of ferrocene with olefins in the presence of palladium(II) salts
Abstract
Ferrocene reacts with olefins to produce alkenylferrocenes in the presence of palladium(II) acetate. The reactivity of the olefin is strongly influenced by substituents: it is increased by electron-withdrawing groups. The reaction provides a convenient synthesis of ferrocene derivatives.
