B. Konig et al., PALLADIUM-CATALYZED COUPLING OF VINYLFERROCENE WITH AROMATIC HALIDES - A HIGHLY EFFICIENT ROUTE TO (FERROCENYLVINYL)ARENES, Chemische Berichte, 127(9), 1994, pp. 1811-1813
(Ferrocenylvinyl)arenes 3, 5, and 7 are obtained from vinylferrocene (
1) and substituted aromatic and heteroaromatic halides by palladium-ca
talyzed Heck-type reactions. Up to three ferrocene units are introduce
d in one step by the multifold reaction of 1,2-dibromo- (4) or 1,3,5-t
ribromobenzene (6) with 1. The first crystal structure of a bis(ferroc
enylvinyl)benzene chromophore (5) is reported.
