Abstract
The effect of the substituent in the ferrocene nucleus on the photo-ethoxycarbonylation of monosubstituted ferrocene in carbon tetrachloride–ethanol solution is described. The electron withdrawing substituents, such as chloro, bromo, iodo, cyano, and acetyl, retarded the photo-ethyoxycarbonylation, whereas the electron releasing substituents, such as ethyl accelerated the reaction. The electronic effects which affect the formation of the charge transfer complex and those which affect the reactivity of the cyclopentadienyl ring toward the attack of a trichloromethyl radical can be considered for the photo-ethoxycarbonylation.
