Ferrocenecarboxaldehyde Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

crystalline solid

Uses

Ferrocenecarboxaldehyde, is used to prepare chiral ferrocene aziridinylmethanols for selective azomethine ylide cycloaddtion. It is an important raw material and intermediate used in Organic Synthesis, Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals.

Purification Methods

It forms red crystals from heptane/CH2Cl2, EtOH or pet ether and sublimes at 70o/1mm. The cyanohydrin has m 104o (from *C6H6/EtOH). The semicarbazone has m 217-219o(dec) after recrystallisation from aqueous EtOH. The oxime provides two isomers from pet ether viz m 96-99o and m 155o. The O-acetyloxime has m 80-81o after recrystallisation from hexane [Lindsay & Hauser J Org Chem 22 355 1957]. The 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone has m 248o(dec). [Beilstein 16 IV 1798, Graham et al. J Am Chem Soc 79 3416 1957, Broadhead et al. J Chem Soc 650 1958.]
