Abstract
2,3-Diferrocenyl-2,3-butanediol (II) has been obtained by the
indirect electrochemical reduction of acetylferrocerie (I) using an
electrochemically generated sodium amalgam. The approximative
value of the half-wave reduction potential of acetylferrocene (I) .
and the stereochemistry of (II) has been determined. Pinacol (II)
was rearranged to 2,3-diferrocenylbutane-3-on (III) , dehydrated
to 2,3-diferrocenyl-1,3-butadiene (IV) and anhydride of 4,5- diferrocenyl-
4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic aC!id (V) was formed by the
Diels-Alder reaction of (IV).
