Conversion of tributylstannylferrocene to a variety of heteroaryl ferrocenes
摘要:
Tributylstannylferrocene (Fc-SnBu3) was converted to a variety of heteroaryl ferrocenes, such as 2-thiophenyl, 3-thiophenyl, 3-pyridyl, 3-quinolyl, 4-oxazolyl and 4-isoxazolyl ferrocene, by using Pd-catalyzed reactions. The Stille-coupling catalyst (PdCl2-PPh3) promotes the reaction between Fc-SnBu3 and electron-deficient heterocyclic bromides, while a modified catalyst (Pd-Ph3P-CuO) proves to be the choice for the coupling of Fc-SnBu3 with electron-rich heterocyclic bromides.

3,5-Diferrocenylpyridine was synthesised from 3,5-dibromopyridine and ferroceneboronic acid, in respectable yield (48%), using a microwave-enhanced Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. This novel ligand and its palladium(II) dichloride complex have been fully characterised using elemental analysis. HR-ESI-MS, IR, UV and NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, the molecular structures of 3,5-diferrocenylpyridine and [Pd(3,5-diferrocenylpyridine)(2)Cl-2] were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. A comprehensive study of the electrochemistry of 3-ferrocenylpyridine, 3,5-diferrocenylpyridine and their palladium(II) dichloride complexes was performed using traditional hexafluorophosphate and weakly-coordinating fluorinated aryl borate anions. Electronic communication between the two proximal ferrocenyl centres of 3,5-diferrocenylpyridine and its palladium complex is only observed when the weakly-coordinating fluorinated aryl borate anions are used as the supporting electrolyte.
