Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Approach to the Synthesis of Ferrocenyl‐Substituted 1,5‐Diketone Compounds Under Solvent‐Free Conditions

Abstract This article describes a fast, efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly method for the preparation of a series of ferrocenyl‐substituted 1,5‐diketone compounds via Michael addition of ferrocenyl‐substituted chalcones with deoxybenzoin or dibenzyl ketone under solvent‐free conditions, and affords the corresponding Michael adducts with excellent yields of 77–93%.
