• Resumen

  • The acylation of ferrocene is a common reaction used in organic laboratories to demonstrate Friedel�Crafts acylation and the purification of compounds using column chromatography. This article describes an acylation of ferrocene experiment that is more eco-friendly than the conventional acylation experiment. The traditional experiment was modified by replacing mineral acid with a polymeric acid catalyst and by using microwave heating instead of conventional heating.
