Abstract
Cobaltocenium carboxylic acid (carboxycobaltocenium) hexafluorophosphate, a key compound for other monofunctionalized cobaltocenium salts, has been synthesized in >70% overall yield starting from cobaltocenium hexafluorophosphate by a synthetic sequence involving (i) nucleophilic addition of lithium (trimethylsilyl)ethynide, (ii) hydride removal by tritylium hexafluorophosphate, and (iii) oxidative cleavage of the alkynyl substituent by potassium permanganate.
