Acetylation of Ferrocene
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 acetyl groups to each of the
aromatic rings. In order to determine how well this process had wo ....

.... in polarity between the atoms of oxygen and carbon. Ferrocene is
relatively low to none in polarity. Acetylferrocene, because of the carbonyl
functional group, is more polar than the ferrocene. Moreover, diacetylferrocene,
because of the 2:1 ratio of the carbonyl groups over the acetylferrocene, is the
most polar of the lot.
As stated above, both TLC and CG take advantage of polarity. Both
methods have an extremely polar stationary phase; spe ....
