a) Generally, ferrocene is more reactive than aromatic compounds in electrophilic substitution reactions. So, mild conditions are enough for monoacylation (H3PO4 is milder compare to AlCl3). After monoacylation, it becomes somewhat electron-deficient and also these are milder conditions. So, it can not go diacylation.
b) It needs somewhat harsh conditions after a monoacylation. The suitable conditions are AlCl3 and acetic anhydride to get the diacylated product.
c) After monoacylation on 1st ring, it becomes electron-deficient, it does not allow for acylation on same ring at 3 position. So, it alow to acylate at 1st position of 2nd ring and results 1, 1' diacylation.
2 Water reacts with excess acetic anhydride and forms acetic acid as side product.

lab help please!! #6 FRIEDEL-CRAFTS ACYLATION OF FERROCENE 2. This reaction is done with a 10-fold excess of acetic anhydride, yet the dominant product of the reaction is the mono-acylated compound. Very little 1,1'-diacetylferrocene is formed. a. Why? b. What conditions are necessary to form 1,1'-diacetylferrocene as the main product? c. Why does 1,3-diacetylferrocene not form under these conditions?

Friedel-Crafts Acylation of Ferrocene "riedel-Crafts reactions are examples of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. The eaction involves the substitution of hydrogen on the aromatic ring system by an electrophilic arbon species forming a new carbon-carbon bond. Friedel-Crafts reactions may be used to ntroduce either an alkyl or acyl group. Ferrocene does not undergo addition reactions typical of cyclopentadiene, but undergoes Electrophilic aromatic substitution. The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction of ferrocene involves he addition of the acylium cation to one of the carbon...

When performing a Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction, not only does one have the problems of multiple alkylation and rearrangement of the cation, but the presence of strong electron donating groups(yes, donating is correct) prevents reaction. Provide an explanation for this. Metallocenes, like ferrocene cannot be nitrated. Why? Draw the structure of the diacetylferrocene you would obtain if ferrocene were diacetylated. Draw an arrow pushing mechanism for the formation of the acylium ion when acetic anhydride reacts with phosphoric acid. Provide the...
The following questions are from an experiment titled Friedel-Crafts Alkylation for Organic Chemistry II Lab. There are pictures attached of the lab manual. 2) Is this method a good route for the preparation of p-sec-butyltoulene? Give reasons for your answer. 3) Why do you use a large excess of toulene. What are its functions? 4) What is the purpose for adding the hydrochloric acid to the water in the separatory funnel in step 5? Hint: If no acid is added,...
