Abstract
Condensations of several alpha,alpha'-disubstituted 1,1'-ferrocenylene biscarbinals (1) with mercaptoethanoic acid, 3-mercaptopropanoic acid or 3-acetylthio-2-methylpropanoic acid in the presence of trifluoroace tic acid have given the corresponding 1,1'-ferrocenylenebisthiaaliphat ic acids (2-4) in 49-90% yields. Reactions of acids 2-4 with trifluoro acetic anhydride yielded 15-29% of trans-2-oxa[3]ferrocenophanes (tran s-8), 7-13% of [2,2]ferrocenophanes (9) and 8-15% of the ethanoferroce nylene oligomers (10). The mechanism of the reactions is discussed.
