Abstract
In this research it was found that strongly nucleophilic aromatic compounds, like phenol, resorcinol, anisole, N,N-dimethylaniline, mes.l.tylene, thiophene, thianaphthene, N-methylpyrrole, indole and ferrocene, are ferrocenylmethylated on a ring-carbon by (ferrocenylmethyl)- trimethylammonium iodide. The ferrocenylmethylation of aniline, N-methylaniline and acetanilide yielded N-, o- and p-ferrocenylmethylated products. The N-ferrocenylmethylated compounds have been shown to undergo acid catalyzed intermolecular rearrangements to their corresponding o- and p-ferrocenylmethyl isomers. NMR was especially useful in structure analysis.
