Description
Summary:A simple, convenient and environmentally sound method for the synthesis of ferrocenylimines is described involving the solvent-free mixing of substituted anilines and ferrocenylaldehydes. The yields obtained were very high and purification was achieved by cold recrystallization from methanol. The mixing of equimolar quantities of ferrocenylaldehydes and aromatic amines in a solvent-free environment provided excellent yields of ferrocenylimines. After mixing the aldehydes and amines, a melt formed which eventually solidified to the product. An analytically pure sample of the product was obtained by cold recrystallization. 2004 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
