Ferrocenylacetic acid and 1,1’-ferrocenyldiacetic acid were synthesized via Willgerodt-Kindler reaction in the presence of Na2S•9H2O as catalyst. Their structures were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, MS techniques and elemental analysis. By GC-MS, the mechanism was proposed that the reaction was initiated by the polysulfide anion attacking at the α-carbon. Further factors affecting the reaction were also discussed.

Key words: 1,l’-ferrocenyldiacetic acid, mechani, Willgerodt-Kindler reaction, systhesis, ferrocenylacetic acid
