Acetylation of Ferrocene
In this lab we will be utilizing the Friedel Crafts process of
acetylation of ferrocene. Ferrocene is an atom of iron bounded by two aromatic
rings. We will use some reagents that will cause the ferrocene to add either
one acetyl group to an aromatic ring or add two acetyl groups to each of the
aromatic rings. In order to determine how well this process had worked we
employed: IR spectra analysis, column chromatography, and a little TLC. This
experiment is relevant in today's highly industrialized world. By utilizing
many of the techniques we employ in this lab, a company can synthesize new types
of materials o....
