oxylic anhydride were described. Schetter & Speiser (2004)
also reported the formation of (1) during the reaction of
FcCO2H with various carbodiimides. Finally, in 2016,
McAdam & Simpson (2016) reported that (1) was isolated, as
a by-product, during the reaction of FcCO2H with triphos-
gene. In this case, crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were
obtained and the solid-state structure was determined.
Apart from these synthesis reports, (1) was used spor-
adically as a reagent. Wenzer was the first to use it for the
esterification of cholesterol in the presence of pyridine
(Hoffmann et al., 1980). Eckert & Koller (1990a,b) reported
the amidation of H-Phe-OtBu in the presence of trimethyl-
amine and the reaction of (1) with bovine serum albumin in
buffered solution. Kihara et al. (2004) used (1) in the synthesis
of a redox-active rotaxane. A ferrocene stopper was intro-
duced by the esterification of an alcohol in the presence of
catalytic amounts of (n-Bu)3P. The same year, Schetter &
Speiser (2004) reported the amidation of 3-(triethoxysil-
yl)propylamine with (1) in the presence of a carbodiimide in
37% yield. Finally, Halls et al. (2012) reported the post-func-
tionalization of metal–organic frameworks with (1) to access
new redox-active materials. It should be noted that, apart from
the work of Kihara et al. (2004), the yields of ester and amide
formations remain surprisingly low (20 to 47%). This lack of
reactivity was also noticed by Runqiu & Qingmin (2001), who
failed to react (1) with primary or secondary amines and with
hydrazines.
It appears that (1) is usually obtained as a by-product in the
synthesis of FcCOCl with various chlorinating reagents or
during the formation of amides in the presence of carbodi-
imides. In the course of a program dedicated to the synthesis
of new ferrocenecarboxamides (Palabindela et al., 2016), we
reacted FcCO2H with thionyl chloride to access FcCOCl.
During the purification steps, column chromatography
1
afforded an unknown product, and H and 13C NMR studies
revealed the presence of a ferrocene monosubstituted with a
carboxyl group, which was not an acid or an acyl chloride, nor
an ester. We considered that there was a possibility that a
stable anhydride had been formed; slow crystallization of the
pure product and the solid-state structure obtained by X-ray
diffraction confirmed our hypothesis. However, instead of the
known crystal structure already described by McAdam &
Simpson (2016), we managed to obtain a previously unknown
polymorph of (1). Its spectroscopic data and crystal structure
will be described here and compared to other cyclopenta-
dienecarboxylic anhydrides.
