Conclusions
-
1.
The electrochemical preparation of the methyl esters of ferrocene-containing carboxylic acids was accomplished for the first time.
-
2.
In the studied electrochemical reaction the electron-acceptor substituent in the molecule of the ferricenium cation orients the newly entering radical to the unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ring.
