The palladium-catalyzed carbonylation coupling reaction of ethynylferrocene with aryl
iodides under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide is a convenient, effective, and versatile
method for the synthesis of aryl ferrocenyethynyl ketones. Likewise, the palladium-catalyzed
carbonylation coupling-annulation reaction of ethynylferrocene with substituted 2-iodophenol
gives 2-ferrocenyl-4H-chromen-4-ones. The reactions were performed in short time and gave the products
in good yield.
