FERROCENYLAMINE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)98509-7

A general method for the preparation of ferrocenylamines involves the reactions of ferrocenyl bromide, FcBr^*, with the sodium salt of an amine or amide in the presence of copper(I)bromide/pyridine.The syntheses of diferrocenylphenylamine and triferrocenylamine, NFc2Ph and NFc3, respectively, are reported, and the hydrolysis of N-ferrocenyl acetamide to give ferrocenylamine, NH2Fc, is described.The system of the ferrocenyl- and/or phenyl-substituted derivatives of ammonia, NFcnX3-n (n=0-3; X=H, Ph), is characterised on the basis of mass, UV VIS and in particular of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data.
