Abstract
The photochemical substitution of ferrocene in several halogenated hydrocarbon–ethanol solutions was investigated. Ethoxycarbonyl, formyl, ethoxymethyl, benzyl and allyl groups were photochemically introduced into ferrocene in 25–53% yields by the UV-irradiation of ferrocene in carbon tetrachloride–, chloroform–, dichloromethane–, benzyl chloride–, and allyl bromide–ethanol solutions, respectively. The reactions proceeded effectively by the excitation of the charge transfer complexes formed between ferrocene and halogenated hydrocarbons.
