Diatomic phenols as nucleophilic components in the carbonylation of the chelated C,N-palladacycle of the ferrocene series

Abstract

The carbonylation of the chelated palladium derivative of dimethylaminoferrocene in the presence of diatomic phenols affords mixtures of the corresponding mono and diacylated dihydroxybenzenes containing a 2 dimethylaminomethylferrocenyl fragment in the acyl moiety.
