Abstract
Abstract N-Ferrocenoyl glycine ester derivatives FcCONHCH2COOR (Fc=(η5-C5H5)Fe(η5-C5H4); R=methyl (1), ethyl (2) and benzyl (3)) have been prepared by coupling ferrocene carboxylic acid to a series of glycine esters using 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) and Et3N in CH2Cl2. The electrochemical anion sensing using a platinum microdisk working electrode of these N-ferrocenoyl glycine ester derivatives is reported. The crystal structure of 1 has been determined; principal dimensions are amide N(H)CO 1.229(3) A, ester CO 1.183(3) A with N–H⋯OC(amide) as the primary intermolecular hydrogen bond, N⋯O 2.804(3) A.
