Abstract

Attempts originally directed towards the generation of ferrocyne (1,2-dehydroferrocene, 4) and ferrocenediyne (l,2,1′,2′- tetradehydroferrocene, 5) by triflate elimination from the respective ferrocenyl inflates led to the discovery of the first anionic thia-Fries rearrangements at a five-membered ring. These reactions take place with remarkable efficiency under very mild reaction conditions and yield the respective trifluoromethylsulfonyl-substituted ferrocenols. Most remarkably, the reaction starting from 1,1′-ferrocenediyl ditriflate (9) adopts an extremely high interannular stereoinduction in that exclusively the meso rearrangement product, meso-2,2′-bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-1,1′-ferrocenediol (16), is formed, the corresponding racemic product 17 is not observed. It is shown that the second anionic thia-Fries rearrangement proceeds at a much larger rate than the first one. The stereochemistry and the high rate of this reaction are explained on the basis of electronic as well as steric considerations. The redox behavior of some of the unprecedented ferrocene derivatives has been characterized by cyclovoltammetry.
