Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of a series of ferrocenylcyclohexenones via tandem Michael-aldol reaction of ferrocenyl-substituted chalcones with dibenzyl ketone under solvent-free conditions is described. It was found that the factors including the electronic nature of chalcone, basicity of the base, reaction time, and temperature have effects on the formation of the ferrocenylcyclohexenones.
