Abstract

Reductive coupling reaction of aryliminomethylferrocenes FcCH = NAr[(1, Ar=QHs (a), p-ClC6H4 (b), p-BrC6H4 (c), p-CH3C6H4 (d), m-ClC6H4 (e)] with triethyl orthoformate (2) in Zn-TiCl4 system gave three kinds of products: 1, 3-diaryl-4, 5-diferrocenyl imidazolidines (3), N, N-disubstituted formamides (4), and 1, 2-diferrocenyl ethylene (5). 1H NMR spectra proved that all the compounds 3 obtained were dl-isomers. All the new compounds 3 and 4 were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR (for 3) and IR spectra. The molecular structure of 3c was determined by X-ray diffraction.
