Abstract
The new zirconocene compound, Cp2Zr(C9H9O)2, was successfully prepared from the reaction of zirconocene dichloride with 1-indanol in 1:2 molar ratio in dry chloroform at the presence of triethylamine (Et3N) and in an inert atmosphere. This compound was characterized by (1H and 13C) NMR, elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis, TGA and mass spectrum data. The catalytic activity of the synthesized compound for the acetylation of 2-naphtol and benzyl alcohol with acetic anhydride as an acetylating reagent in the solvent free conditions was also investigated. The Cp2Zr(C9H9O)2 as a catalyst affords an efficient and simple method for the acetylation of 2-naphtol and benzyl alcohol.
