The preparation of 1-ferrocenyl-2-propanol (5) from lithioferrocene and propylene oxide is described. The reaction of lithium diisopropylamide with 2-ferrocenylethanol (3) or 1-ferrocenyl-2-propanol (5), followed by the addition to hexachlorocyclotriphosphazane (1) provides N 3 P 3 Cl 6 - n (OCHRCH 2 C 5 H 4 FeCp) n [R=H, n=1 (3) or 2 (4); R=CH 3 , n=1 (6)]. The corresponding reactions with ferrocenylmethanol lead to degradation products via a phosphazene-phosphazene rearrangement. The substitution pattern observed for N 3 P 3 C1 4 (OCH 2 CH 2 C 5 H 4 FeCp) 2 (4) suggests that the reaction follows a predominantly cis-non-geminal pathway. The substituted phosphazene derivatives were characterized by standard means including 3 1 P-NMR, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and cyclic voltammetry. An X-ray crystal structure of N 3 P 3 C1 5 (OCH 2 CH 2 C 5 H 4 FeCp) (3) was obtained.
