How was ferrocenylmethyl acrylate (FcMA) synthesized?

Label:chem

Topic
FcMA, a photopolymerizable monomer, was synthesized through an esterification reaction. This reaction involved ferrocenyl methanol (FcMeOH) and acryloyl chloride, with pyridine acting as an acid-binding agent. The synthesis was confirmed using FTIR and 1H NMR spectra, which showed the disappearance of the hydroxyl group from FcMeOH and the appearance of carbonyl and C=C double bond peaks in FcMA.
Answer
Ferrocenylmethyl acrylate (FcMA) was synthesized via an esterification reaction between ferrocenyl methanol (FcMeOH) and acryloyl chloride, using pyridine as an acid-binding agent, and its successful formation was confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy.
