Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the synthesis of a ferrocene-based macrocycle, with participants seeking guidance on the synthetic route starting from ferrocene and other reagents. The scope includes synthetic chemistry and practical application in laboratory settings.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests assistance in determining the correct molar equivalents of reagents needed for the synthesis of the macrocycle from ferrocene.
  • Another participant seeks clarification on the specific type of help needed, indicating a lack of understanding of the initial request.
  • A further response emphasizes the availability of Scifinder as a resource for finding synthetic routes and suggests utilizing it for research purposes.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the specific synthetic route or reagents, and the discussion remains unresolved with multiple participants expressing different levels of understanding and assistance.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided detailed assumptions or specific definitions regarding the reagents or the macrocycle structure, which may limit the clarity of the discussion.

I've been asked to synthesise this ferrocene based macrocycle (shown in picture below) starting from ferrocene and other available materials from Aldrich. I need to make sure molar equivalents are spot on with reagents. Can anyone help please?

I need to give a synthetic route starting from ferrocene to get to that compound in the picture
 
Your school probably pays in excess of 6 figures per year for Scifinder...In other words you really are through tuition. Try it out at your library. It can do almost everything for you. It is a mind blowing collection of knowledge that has been amassed by mankind that can be searched through with SF.
