(6-Bromohexyl)ferrocene is obtained through a reaction involving ferrocene and 6-bromohexanol, facilitated by a catalyst. This reaction leads to the introduction of a bromine group onto the hexyl chain of the ferrocene molecule. Its versatility has spurred research into its applications in organic synthesis, electrochemistry, and materials science. It serves as a building block in the synthesis of diverse organic compounds, such as ferrocene-based liquid crystals, dendrimers, and polymers.
