Synthesis and Asymmetric Mono-cyclopalladation of 1,1’-Di(α-dimethylamino)ethylferrocene

Abstract

Two-step synthesis of 1,1’-di(α-dimethylamino)ethylferrocene is described in details. Cyclopalladation of this diamine involving one or two amino groups is reported and the product of asymmetric mono-cyclopalladation is fully characterized.
