✦ Synopsis

Photochemical introduction of functional groups has been an interesting problem from the view point of preparative organic photochemistry. This report deals with the photochemical introduction of ethoxycarbonyl, formyl and ethoxymethyl groups into a ferrocene nucleus by the ultraviolet irradiation of ferrocene in carbon tetrachloride-, chloroform-and dichloromethaneethanol solutions, respectively. Brand and Snedden observed spectra of electron transfer to solvent in ferrocene-haloalkane systems(l).
