Highly Functionalized Ferrocenes

2020

International audience; Ferrocene is unique among organometallic compounds, and serves notably as a versatile platform towards the production of ligands useful to promote transition metals chemistry. A general limiting aspect of the synthesis of ferrocene derivatives is the efficient access to sophisticated highly functionalized polysubstituted ferrocenes, i. e. bearing four or more substituents replacing hydrogen atoms on the cyclopentadienyl rings. These ferrocene derivatives can bear various functional or/and structuring spectator substituents. Their preparation involves synthetic difficulties resulting from the need of multiple functionalizations coexisting altogether, and satisfying fu…
