General description

Acetylferrocene is an organometallic compound that can be used as a catalyst and as a starting material for the synthesis of complex organometallic compounds.

Application

Acetylferrocene can be used as:
  • A Precursor to synthesize 1-ferrocenylethanol by reduction in the presence of sodium borohydride.
  • An electroactive compound along with MgO nanoparticles to modify carbon paste electrode (CPE) that can be used to determine L-cysteine.
