Abstract
β-Amino-α-phenyl-α-ferrocenylethanol, FcC(OH)(Ph)CH2NH2 was prepared by the reduction of cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ether of benzoylferrocene with lithium aluminum hydride. This new compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The structure was also confirmed by a single crystal X-ray study. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic P21/c space group with unit cell dimensions: a = 12.5906(17), b = 5.9636(8), c = 19.8320(3) A, β = 102.047(2)∘, V = 1456.3(3) A3, Z = 4. The structure exhibits intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding of the type N—H⋅ ⋅O and O—H⋅ ⋅N, respectively. The pattern of the inter-molecular hydrogen bonding interaction contains a 10-atom ring with two donors and two acceptors, showing a dimeric crystal packing.
