Ferrocene is an organometallic compound with the formula Fe(C 5 H 5) 2. The molecule is a complex consisting of two cyclopentadienyl rings sandwiching a central iron atom. It is an orange solid with a camphor-like odor that sublimes above room temperature, and is soluble in most organic solvents.
Acetylferrocene is prepared by Friedel-Crafts acylation of ferrocene, usually with acetic anhydride (Ac 2 O): . Fe(C 5 H 5) 2 + Ac 2 O → (C 5 H 5)Fe(C 5 H 4 Ac) + HOAc. The experiment is often conducted in the instructional laboratory to illustrate acylation as well as chromatographic separations.
Ethyl acetate (systematically ethyl ethanoate, commonly abbreviated EtOAc, ETAC or EA) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 2 CH 2 CH 3, simplified to C 4 H 8 O 2.This flammable, colorless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues, nail polish removers, and the decaffeination process of tea and coffee.
For example, the reaction of acetic anhydride with ethanol yields ethyl acetate: (CH 3 CO) 2 O + CH 3 CH 2 OH → CH 3 CO 2 CH 2 CH 3 + CH 3 COOH. Often a base such as pyridine is added to function as catalyst. In specialized applications, Lewis acidic scandium salts have also proven effective catalysts. [12]
This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
