Acetylation Of Ferrocene
Beginning of paper
Experiment #7
Introduction
In this lab we will be utilizing the Friedel Crafts process of
acetylation of ferrocene. Ferrocene is an atom of iron bounded by two aromatic
rings. We will use some reagents that will cause the ferrocene to add either
one acetyl group to an aromatic ring or add two ac ....

.... (TLC), column chromatography
(CG), and IR spectra analysis in order to determine the what proportions of
each of these compounds will be present in the final product.
Both TLC and CG are excellent methods of measuring the presence of a
given substance. Both methods turn around a compounds polarity. As one recalls,
polarity is a measure of the electronegativity of a compound determined by their
placement in the periodic chart. Specifically, in this lab we are talking about
the diffe ....
