R. Knapp et M. Rehahn, PALLADIUM-CATALYZED ARYLATION OF FERROCENE DERIVATIVES - A CONVENIENTHIGH-YIELD ROUTE TO 1,1'-BIS(HALOPHENYL)FERROCENES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 452(1-2), 1993, pp. 235-240
The Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between halobenzenes and ferr
ocene-1,1'-diboronic acid is reported. Condensation proceeds smoothly
to give 1,1'-diphenyl- and 1,1'-bis(halophenyl)-substituted ferrocenes
bearing fluoro, chloro and bromo substituents in good yields. An effe
ctive synthesis of the intermediate ferrocene-1,1'-diboronic acid is d
escribed.
