The Fe atom in the title ferrocene derivative, [Fe(C11H15O2)2], is situated on an inversion centre. As a result of the point-group symmetry -1 of the molecule, the ferrocene moiety adopts a The average Fe—C(Cp) bond length (Cp is cyclopentadienyl) is 2.045 (4) Å, in agreement with that of other disubstituted ferrocenes. The Fe—C bond length involving the substituted C atom is slightly longer [2.0521 (17) Å] than the remaining Fe—C bond lengths caused by the of the methylene group on the Cp ring. Apart from no significant intermolecular interactions are observed in the crystal packing.

The interest in disubstituted ferrocene compounds has increased due to their applications in the field of et al., 2004; Gao et al., 2009; Ferreira et al., 2006). The presence of ester groups on these compounds make them promising candidates for the construction of metal-containing polymers (Wilbert et al., 1995).

1,1'-bis(1-methoxy-methyl)ferrocene was first prepared by refluxing 1,1'-bis(hydroxymethyl)ferrocene in methanol and acetic acid (12:1 v/v) for 16 h. Then a solution of 1,1,-bis(1-methoxy-methyl)ferrocene (3.481 g, 12.7 mmol), 1-methoxy-1-(trimethylsiloxy)-2-methyl-1-propene (10.5 ml, 50.8 mmol) and BF3—OEt2 (3.5 ml, 27.9 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (180 ml) was stirred at 195 K for 15 min. The reaction was quenched with a satured solution of NaHCO3 and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic phases were combined and dried to give a viscous yellow oil, which was chromatographed over a column of silica gel using ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:4 v/v) as the δ 3.97 (d, 8H, C5H4FeC5H4), 3.62 (s, 6H, OCH3), 2.57 (s, 4H, CH2), 1.08 (s, 12H, C(CH3)2). HRMS (ESI): C22H30FeO4 calcd for [M + H]+ 415.1572, found 415.1575.
Yellow crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution in dichloromethane/petroleum ether (333-363 K). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3)H atoms were placed in calculated positions and thereafter treated as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (Cp rings CH), 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) (methylene CH2) and 0.96 Å Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) (methyl CH3).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
