Experiment #4: The Preparation of Ferrocene & Acetylferrocene MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Department of Chemistry 5.311 Introductory Chemical Experimentation EXPERIMENT #4 THE PREPARATION OF FERROCENE & ACETYLFERROCENES1 I. Purpose The principal aims of this experiment are to provide background information about and experience in: S the synthesis and electronic structure of ferrocene (1), ( -C5H5)2Fe [bis(pentahaptocyclopentadienyl) iron]2 S the synthesis of an ionic liquid, as environment for the acetylation of ferrocene S the use of inert atmospheres (including glove box techniques) S recrystallization or sublimation S the use of GC/MS and thin-layer chromatography as analytical tools and column chromatography as a purification technique • the concepts of Green Chemistry such as Atom Economy3 and alternative non-polluting solvents Ferrocene is a historically important molecule. The initial recognition of the structure of 4 C10H10Fe in 1951 spawned a vast area of chemistry, viz., transition metal organometallic chemistry. This field is still developing and has produced a huge number of compounds in which saturated, unsaturated, and aromatic organic fragments are bonded directly to metals. All carbon atoms in the two cyclopentadienyl rings are equally bonded to the central ion by electrons in the rings. The sandwich structure proposed by Wilkinson and Fischer5,6 (Nobel prize in 1973) in early 1 Mircea D. Gheorghiu designed the experiment to include the acetylation of ferrocene in ionic liquid. 2 The word hapto means in Greek to fasten. Pentahapto therefore, is to be taken as “fastened in five places.” The greek letter followed by a superscript indicates how many atoms of the ligand are attached to the metal. 3 Atom economy means to maximize the incorporation of all starting materials into the final product. For example, the synthesis of the ionic liquid precursor from 1-methylimidazole and iodoethane to yield 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium iodide is 100% atom efficient.

Exp. 4-1 Experiment #4: The Preparation of Ferrocene & Acetylferrocene 1952 has been supported by X-ray diffraction (solid state)7 and electron diffraction data (gas phase)8. Ferrocene exhibits the properties of a typical aromatic molecule. This compound is stable to more than 500 LC. It does not react readily with acids or bases; however, it is sensitive toward oxidizing agents. Ferrocene does not undergo addition reactions typical of cyclopentadiene, but readily undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution. Depending upon the catalyst and the reaction conditions, the major acetylation product is either the monosubstituted product 2 or the disubstituted product 3. For a particular set of reaction conditions, the student will determine whether the major product is the orange acetylferrocene (2) or the red 1,1-diacetylferrocene (3).

Safety NOTE: The organic liquids to be used in quantity in this experiment: S dimethylsulfoxide S dimethoxyethane S cyclopentadiene S dicyclopentadiene S 1-methylimidazole S iodoethane are all volatile and possess noxious vapors. Avoid inhalation. Carry out all designated operations in the hood. All of the chemicals described in this section are designated with an asterisk (*) in the text the first time they appear. This is so you will be aware of their properties. 1. Dicyclopentadiene (C10H12): This is a noxious liquid. It should be handled with the usual caution: do not ingest. If it is spilled on skin, rinse well with water. 7 Dunitz, J. D.; Orgel, L. E.; Rich, R. A., Acta Crystallogr., 1956, 9, 373. 8 Bohn, R. K. and Haaland, A. J. Organomet. Chem. 1966 5, 470. Haaland, A. and Nilsson, J.E. Acta Chem. Scand. 1968 22 2653. Exp. 4-2 Experiment #4: The Preparation of Ferrocene & Acetylferrocene 2. Potassium Hydroxide (KOH): Potassium hydroxide is extremely corrosive and hydroscopic. It should be handled with caution and kept away from skin and clothing. If it spills, wash with plenty of water. Keep containers tightly closed. Powdered KOH must be handled in the hood. 3. Iron(II) Chloride Tetrahydrate (FeCl2•4H2O): Ferrous salts can be toxic. This chemical should be handled with the usual cautions. 4. Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO): DMSO has the ability to render the skin permeable to many chemical compounds. Substances ordinarily regarded as harmless on the skin become dangerous toxic substances when the nonpermeability of the skin has been altered by the application of dimethylsulfoxide. Consequently, keep dimethylsulfoxide off the hands; if it is accidently spilled on the skin, the area should be washed promptly with a strong soap or detergent and plenty of water. 5. Hydrochloric Acid (HCl): Conc. HCl (12 N) is a strong acid. Contact with the skin will cause burns. If any gets on you or your clothing, rinse immediately with water. Dilute HCl (3N or less) is less hazardous but will still burn the skin and produce holes in clothing. 6. Acetone (CH3COCH3): Acetone is an organic solvent and should be treated with normal caution: keep away from flames, dispose in the organic waste. It also has the ability to increase the permeability of skin and should therefore not be spilled over hands, etc. 7. Aluminum Chloride (AlCl3): Anhydrous aluminum chloride releases HCl when it comes in contact with water. It should therefore be treated with the same precautions as for HCl. 8. Acetic anhydride (CH3CO)2O: Acetic anhydride causes severe burns. It is harmful if inhaled or swallowed, has an irritating vapor and is combustible. Do not get liquid or vapors in eyes, or skin or on clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep in a tightly closed container. 9. Hexane (C6H14), ethyl acetate (CH3COOC2H5), and methanol (CH3OH): These are common organic solvents and should be handled accordingly; keep away from flames, do not inhale, dispose of in the organic waste container. 10. Silica gel (SiO2): Silica gel is a common chromatographic support. It may be irritating to skin, eyes and mucous membrane. Prolonged or repeated inhalation may cause damage to the respiratory system. Do not breathe dust. Do not get into eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. 11. Iodoethane (C2H5I) Vesicant! Toxic! Target organs are nerves, liver, and kidneys. It is light and moisture sensitive. It is stabilized with copper. 12. 1-Methylimidazole (C4N2H6): It is corrosive(will cause burns), combustible and hygroscopic. Keep away from heat and open flame. Handle and store under nitrogen. Exp. 4-3 Experiment #4: The Preparation of Ferrocene & Acetylferrocene III. A.

Experimental Procedure Students work in teams of two on the preparation of ferrocene and acetylation In the directions below, adhere closely to the quantity of materials used in each step. The yields given for each preparation, although not necessarily optimal, correspond to a competent execution of each step. Yields substantially lower indicate poor technique, and may necessitate repetition of the step. It is important that partners carefully study the experiment before beginning to maximize efficient use of laboratory time. It is important to prepare the apparatus and chemicals for the synthesis of ferrocene while the distillation of the cyclopentadiene monomer is in progress. Because of the instability of the cyclopentadiene monomer, it must be used immediately after cracking. The total operation requires about four hours.

In almost all the catalytic systems, the use of Mo is essential to realize the catalytic transformation of N2, where Mo–N2 complexes are considered to work as effective catalysts. Here we show the first successful example of the Fe-catalysed transfor- mation of N2 into N(SiMe3)3 under ambient conditions, in which iron complexes such as iron pentacarbonyl [Fe(CO)5] and ferrocenes have been found to work as effective catalysts. A plausible reaction pathway is proposed, where Fe(II)–N2 complex bearing two Me3Si groups as ancillary ligands has an important role as a key reactive intermediate, with the aid of density-functional-theory calculations. 1 Institute of Engineering Innovation, School of Engineering, University of Tokyo, Yayoi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-8656, Japan. 2 Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering, International Research Center for Molecular Systems, Kyushu University, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka 819-0395, Japan.

    Organometrallic Chemistry

    CHE 425: ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY SOURCE: OPEN ACCESS FROM INTERNET; Striver and Atkins Inorganic Chemistry Lecturer: Prof. O. G. Adeyemi ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY Definitions: Organometallic compounds are compounds that possess one or more metal-carbon bond. The bond must be “ionic or covalent, localized or delocalized between one or more carbon atoms of an organic group or molecule and a transition, lanthanide, actinide, or main group metal atom.” Organometallic chemistry is often described as a bridge between organic and inorganic chemistry. Organometallic compounds are very important in the chemical industry, as a number of them are used as industrial catalysts and as a route to synthesizing drugs that would not have been possible using purely organic synthetic routes. Coordinative unsaturation is a term used to describe a complex that has one or more open coordination sites where another ligand can be accommodated. Coordinative unsaturation is a very important concept in organotrasition metal chemistry. Hapticity of a ligand is the number of atoms that are directly bonded to the metal centre. Hapticity is denoted with a Greek letter η (eta) and the number of bonds a ligand has with a metal centre is indicated as a superscript, thus η1, η2, η3, ηn for hapticity 1, 2, 3, and n respectively. Bridging ligands are normally preceded by μ, with a subscript to indicate the number of metal centres it bridges, e.g. μ2–CO for a CO that bridges two metal centres. Ambidentate ligands are polydentate ligands that can coordinate to the metal centre through one or more atoms. – – – For example CN can coordinate via C or N; SCN via S or N; NO2 via N or N.

The low-cost accessibility of ethanol has been seen as an interesting topic, leading to the extensive study of the formation of distinct chemicals, such as ethylene, diethyl ether, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate, starting from ethanol as a raw material. In this paper, ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde in a one-step reaction was investigated by using commercial activated carbon with four different metal-doped catalysts. The reaction was conducted in a packed-bed micro-tubular reactor under a temperature range of 250–400 ◦C. The best results were found by using the copper doped on an activated carbon catalyst. Under this specified condition, ethanol conversion of 65.3% with acetaldehyde selectivity of 96.3% at 350 ◦C was achieved. This was probably due to the optimal acidity of copper doped on the activated carbon catalyst, as proven by the temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD). In addition, the other three catalyst samples (activated carbon, ceria, and cobalt doped on activated carbon) also favored high selectivity to acetaldehyde (>90%).

    Abstract Process Economics Program Report 37B ACETIC ACID AND ACETIC ANHYDRIDE (November 1994) This Report presents preliminary process designs and estimated economics for the manufacture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride by carbonylation technology. The three processes evaluated in this report include Monsanto’s low pressure carbonylation of methanol process (BP Chemical acquired licensing rights to this process in 1985), Eastman’s process for carbonylation of methyl acetate to produce acetic anhydride (methanol added to the reaction mixture results in the coproduction of acetic acid in this process), and a process based on BP Chemical patents that coproduces acetic acid and acetic anhydride via carbonylation of methyl acetate in the presence of water. Both the Eastman and BP Chemical processes are back– integrated into the manufacture of the methyl acetate feedstock from methanol and acetic acid. We have included a discussion of other commercialized acetic acid and acetic anhydride processes as well as potential new processes. A list of the world’s acetic acid and acetic anhydride producers along with their estimated plant capacities and a description of the major acetic acid and acetic anhydride markets are also included in this Report. This Report will be useful to producers of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, as well as to producers of methanol and downstream products such as vinyl acetate monomer.

Ferrocene is an example of a π-complex in which interactions between the d-orbitals of the Fe2+ metal centre with the π-orbitals of the two planar - cyclopentadienyl ligands (C5H5 ) form the metal-ligand bonds. Thus, all the carbon atoms in the cyclopentadienyl rings are bonded equally to the central Fe2+ ion. Ferrocene exhibits aromatic properties and is thermally very stable.
