Conclusions
-
1.
The metalation of methyl-, ethyl-, and propyl-ferrocenes with butyllithium was studied. The alkyl substituent passivates the ferrocene nucleus in the metallation reaction. Monometalated alkylferrocenes have a heteroannular structure.
-
2.
Heteroannular methylnitro-, ethylnitro-, and nitropropyl-ferrocenes were prepared.
