Abstract
Abstract Production of dimers of dicyclopentadienyl iron compounds by the reaction of a dicyclopentadienyl iron compound and a ketonic coupling agent in the presence of an acid catalyst in an organic solvent. The process involves a two-phase system wherein one phase comprises said ketonic coupling agent, a strong acid, and a polar organic solvent; and the second phase comprises said iron compound which is slightly soluble in the first phase. The product dimers of dicyclopentadienyl iron compounds are useful as hematinic agents and in the cure of polymers. Those compounds substituted in at least one cyclopentadienyl ring are novel.
