Abstract

Solvolysis of ferrocenylcarbinols followed by reduction with zinc leads to the formation of 1,2-diferrocenyl-ethanes in yields of 60% and better. The reaction sequence is envisaged to consist of reduction by zinc of the initially formed α-ferrocenylcarbonium ion to the ferrocenylcarbinyl radical which upon coupling yields the dimer.
