Reactions of N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane with a cyclic ketone in the presence of ferrocene carboxylic acid proceeded smoothly at room temperature and in neutral conditions to afford ferrocene-containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives in high yields. The reaction proceeded smoothly and cleanly under mild conditions and no side reactions were observed. The structures of the products were ded...

2,3,4,7-Tetrahydro-1H -inden-2-ol (1) has been synthesised by Birch reduction of indan-2-ol. A single-crystal X-ray structur analysis of 1 shows the compound to exist as hydrogen-bonded polymers along the c-axis due to the presence of a series of hydrogen bonds between hydroxo functions. The ferrocene ester derivatives, ferrocene carboxylic acid 2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-1H -inden-2-yl este (2) and fe...

Ferrocene-containing amidopyridine receptors bind carboxylic acids and the amino acid phenylalanine in acetonitrile via a novel proton transfer process that enables guests to be electrochemically sensed by positive shifts in the ferrocene-centred redox potentials.

An achiral Cp*Ir( iii )/chiral carboxylic acid-catalysed enantioselective C–H alkylation of ferrocene carboxamides with diazomalonates was achieved, providing planar chiral alkylated ferrocenes in up to 94 : 6 er.

A series of arene–ruthenium complexes of the general formula [RuCl2{g-C6H5(CH2)2R}L] with R1⁄4OH, CH2OH, OC(O)Fc, CH2OC(O)Fc (Fc1⁄4 ferrocenyl) and L1⁄4PPh3, (diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, or bridging 1,10-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, have been synthesized. Two synthetic pathways have been used for these ferrocene-modified arene–ruthenium complexes: (a) esterification of ferrocene carboxylic...

[reaction: see text] Various ferrocene-based organosilanols have been synthesized in four steps starting from achiral ferrocene carboxylic acid. Applying these novel planar-chiral ferrocenes as catalysts in asymmetric phenyl transfer reactions to substituted benzaldehydes afforded products with high enantiomeric excesses. The best result (91% ee) was achieved in the addition to p-chlorobenzalde...

We describe here the sugar functionalized β-cyclodextrin-ferrocene glass slides as fully reversible bacterial biosensors under the influence of external adamantane carboxylic acid. The prototype d-mannose - E. coli ORN 178 and l-fucose - P. aeruginosa interactions serve as a model to illustrate the new approach.

The title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(30)H(32)O(7)P)], which is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of (R(p))-2-(diphenyl-phos-phino)ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid, crystallizes in the common chiral space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). In general, the mol-ecular geometry is very similar to that of the corresponding 2,1'-bis-(diphenyl-phosphino) congener. The ferrocene unit assumes a regular geometry with the pr...

Here we report synthesis, spectral data and single-crystal X-ray molecular and crystal structures of (E)-1-[(methoxyimino)ethyl] ferrocene (2) and (E)-methyl 1'-[(methoxyimino)ethyl]ferrocene-1carboxylate (4). These organometallics are recognized as precursors for optically pure (1ferrocenylethyl)amine (Fea) and 1'-(1-aminoethyl)ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid (Fcca) derivatives. The (E/Z)mixtures...
