Methods for preparation of cyclopentadienyliron (II) arenes
Abstract
Two improved methods for preparation of compounds with the structure shown in the equation, [(Cp)--Fe--(Ar)][sup +][sub b]X[sup b[minus]], where Cp is an [eta][sup 5] complexed, substituted or unsubstituted, cyclopentadienyl or indenyl anion, Ar is an [eta][sup 6] complexed substituted or unsubstituted, [pi]-arene ligand and X is a bivalent anion where b is an integer between 1 and 3. The two methods, which differ in the source of the cyclopentadienyl anion--Lewis acid complex, utilize a Lewis acid assisted ligand transfer reaction. The cyclopentadienyl anion ligand, assisted by a Lewis acid is transferred to ferrous ion in the presence of an arene. In the first method, the cyclopentadienyl anion is derived from ferrocene and ferrous chloride. In this reaction, the cyclopentadienyliron (II) arene product is derived partially from ferrocene and partially from the ferrous salt. In the second method, the cyclopentadienyl anion--Lewis acid complex is formed by direct reaction of the Lewis acid with an inorganic cyclopentadienide salt. The cyclopentadienyliron (II) arene product of this reaction is derived entirely from the ferrous salt. Cyclopentadienyliron (II) arene cations are of great interest due to their utility as photoactivatable catalysts for a variety of polymerization reactions.
