Abstract

Michael addition of a series of C- and S-nucleophiles to acryloyl- and cinnamoylferrocene catalysed by KF/Al2O3 has been studied. In general, the reaction proceeded quantitatively and in shorter reaction time compared to the common procedure. The synthesis of acryloylferrocene has been improved.
