Subsequently, a solution of ZnCl2 (0.95 g, 7.00 mmol) in
THF (10 cm3) was added. After stirring of the mixture for
30 min it was added to a solution containing 2a (1.73 g,
5.70 mmol) and a few mg of Pd(PPh3)4 in THF (35 cm3).
The resulting solution was stirred for 15 h at room
temperature and was refluxed for 1 h. It was allowed to
cool to room temperature and was then quenched with 0.10
M HCl (50 cm3) and extracted with CHCl3 (3330 cm3).
The combined organic layers were dried with Na2SO4.
Volatile components (solvents and ferrocene) were re-
moved in vacuo. The crude product was purified by
column chromatography (silica gel, eluent CHCl3) to yield

Triethylamine (0.58 g, 5.76 mmol), chlorotrimethyl-
silane (1.04 g, 9.60 mmol) and a solution of 3a (0.60 g,
1.92 mmol) in DME (10 cm3) were added sequentially to a
suspension of sodium molybdate (0.20 g, 0.96 mmol) in
DME (20 cm3) placed in a thick-walled Rotaflo ampoule.
The mixture was stirred at 608C for 15 h. Insoluble
material was filtered off and washed with DME (235

2.3. Synthesis of 2,6-Pri2-4-Fc-C;C-C6H2NH2 (5a)
Pd(dba)2 (0.17 g, 0.3 mmol) was added to a degassed
solution of ethinylferrocene (4) (3.17 g, 15.1 mmol), 2a
(4.57 g, 15.1 mmol), PPh3 (0.24 g, 0.9 mmol) and CuI (30
mg, 0.2 mmol) in triethylamine (150 cm3) placed in a
thick-walled Rotaflo ampoule. The solution was stirred at
