Does ferrocene resist electrophilic substitution?
Does ferrocene resist electrophilic substitution? Due to the aromatic character of the cyclopentadienyl ligands, ferrocene can undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions typical of aromatic compounds such as benzene. In this experiment you will acetylate ferrocene via the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction. Why does ferrocene undergo electrophilic substitution reaction? In order for the reaction to take place, […]
