Abstract

The ferrocenylrnethylation of the following compounds was studied using (ferrocenylmethyl)trimethylammonium iodide: 1, 1-di(p-anisyl)- ethene (I), 1, 1-di(p- anisyl)propene (II), 1- (p- anisyl)-1-phenylethene (III), 1, 1- diphenylethene (IV), 1, 1- di(p- dimethylaminophenyl )ethene (V) and 1, 1-di(p-dimethylaminophenyl)propene (VI). I is ferrocenylmethylated exclu,sively on its side-chain, one or both vinyl hydrogens being replaced by ferrocenylmethyl groups depending on the ratio of ferrocenylmethylating agent to I, concentration of the reaction mixture, reaction time, solvent and temperature. II is substituted only on its side-chain to give a mono-ferrocenylmethylated product. III is ferrocenylmethylated slowly. IV fails to react. Mono-ferrocenylmethylation of V occurs principally on its side- chain; more extensive ferrocenylmethylation occurs both on the side-chain and on the rings at the position ortho to dimethylamino. VI reacts quite indiscriminately both on the side-chain and on the rings.
