Abstract:
Comparative synthesis of ferrocenyl aniline from nitro phenyl ferrocene using different reducing agents, like Sn/HCl, Zn/HCl, Pd-charcoal/NH₂-NH₂ and Zn/formic acid, has been studied and found that Zn/formic acid system yields highest ferrocenyl aniline as compare to the rest of reducing agents.
