Application of olefin cross-metathesis to organometallics. Synthesis of unsaturated ferrocenyl alcohols and ketones
[reaction: see text] The application of olefin cross-metathesis to terminally unsaturated alpha-hydroxy- and alpha-ketoferrocenes is reported. Both substrates provided the terminally functionalized olefins in moderate to good yield. These examples represent the first cases of cross-metathesis of substrates containing an organometallic functional group.
