Abstract

New routes for the site selective multiple borylation of ferrocene have been investigated. Direct borylation of di-t-butylferrocene and hexamethylferrocene with excess boron tribromide yielded exclusively the diborylated species. Formation of a 1,2,1´, 2´-tetraborylated ferrocene was attempted via synthesis of a more reactive precursor, the novel 1,2,1´, 2´-tetramercurated di-t-butylferrocene.
