1,1′-Diacetyloctamethylferrocene: An overlooked and overdue synthon leading to the facile synthesis of an octamethylferrocenophane

This paper describes the facile preparation of 1,1′-diacetyloctamethylferrocene (2) by acylation of octamethylferrocene (1) with acetyl chloride. Chloroformylation with POCl3/DMF of 2 affords a variety of products, including 1,1′-bis-(1-chlorovinyl)octamethylferrocene (3b) in high yield. Compound 3b cyclises in aqueous sodium hydroxide/DMF to an octamethyl[1,4]-ferrocenophane bearing a 1-dimethylaminobuta-1,3-diene-handle (4).

NMR Spectroscopy on Paramagnetic Complexes, XXVII. Paramagnetic 1,1',2,2',3,3',4,4'-Octamethylmetallocenes

The tetramethylated cyclopentadienyl anion has been prepared from tiglinic acid and reacted with solvated metal(II) chlorides to give new octamethylmetallocenes (Me4cp)2M.For M = V, Cr, Co and Ni the paramagnetic 1H and 13C spectra have been recorded.The NMR data prove the molecular structure and show that all methyl groups rotate almost freely.The methyl proton resonance of the nickelocene may serve as a probe for the adjustment of metallocene properties by ring substitution.Based on qualitative MO arguments the correlation of electron spin densities and paramagnetic shifts lead to an understanding of the signal splitting of cobaltocenes.From the electronic point of view the octamethylmetallocenes may be regarded as being invers to 1,1'-dimethylmetallocenes. - Key words: Octamethylmetallocenes, Paramagnetic 1H/13C NMR
