Conclusions
-
1.
The rate constants for the protodemercuration of di(1′-methoxy-1-ferrocenyl)mercury, 1-methoxy-1′-chloromercuriferrocene, di(1′-acetoxy-1-ferrocenyl)mercury, 1-acetoxy-1-chloromercuriferrocene, di(1′-methoxycarbonyl-1-ferrocenyl)mercury, and 1-methoxycarbonyl-1′-chloromercuriferrocene by hydrochloric acid have been measured in 90% (by volume) aqueous dioxane at four temperatures. The energies and entropies of activation have been calculated.
-
2.
The protolysis of mercury derivatives of methoxyferrocene takes place approximately twice as fast and the cleavage of the mercury derivatives of acetoxy- and methoxycarbonylferrocene approximately 3 and 30 times more slowly than the protodemercuration of the unsubstituted compounds. The protolysis of unsymmetrical compounds takes place more slowly than that of the symmetrical compounds.
