Synthesis and electrochemical properties of mono- And (±)-l,2-dia!kylferrocenes and alkylferrocenium hexafluorophosphates in aqueous and micellar media

Simple methods have been developed for the preparation of a series of n-alkylferrocenes H(CH2)Fc (n = 3, 5-8, or 12) based on Friedel-Crafts acylation of ferrocenes followed by reduction of the corresponding ketones with Zn amalgam. The properties of H(CH2>nFc and the corresponding ferrocenium ions in micellar aqueous solutions and the behavior of watersoluble cations H(CH2)nFc+ in the absence of micelles were studied by cyclic voltammetry. In all cases, the formal redox potentials of ferrocenes (￡° ') increase linearly as n increases up to 8. Whether micelles are present or not, the corresponding correlation equation has the following form: ￡ '= a + pn, where β= 29 mV in all cases. The synthesis of (±)-l-ethyI-2methylferrocene from racemic a-dimethylaminoethylferrocene is reported.

A convenient synthesis of E-alkenylferrocenes

Alkenylferrocenes, FcCHCHR [R=(CH2)nCH3, n=0-4], and 1,1′-bisalkenylferrocenes, Fc(CHCHR)2 (R=CH3, CH2CH3) were synthesized by elimination reaction from the corresponding α-hydroxyferrocenylalkanes using methanesulfonylchloride and triethylamine.
