Abstract: The effect of metal salts on the oxidation reaction of (acetylphenyl)ferrocenes was determined. For the p- and m-isomers, the effect was accelerated, but for the o-isomer, the effect was suppressed. This suppressing effect was related to the chelate ring containing the substrate and the metal ion.
Keywords: Ferrocene derivatives; oxidation reaction; metal salt; chelate effect. |
