Abstract

Kinetic laws and the products of autoxidation of formyl- and acetylferrocene in organic solvents in the presence of strong and weak Bronsted acids were investigated. The special feature of the studied reactions is the extreme dependence of the metal complex oxidation rate on the strong acid concentration. This is explained by protonation of the metal complex at high concentrations of the acids leading to the formation of stable to oxidation α-ferrocenylcarbenium complexes C5H5FeC5H4C+(OH)R.
