Abstract
In this work iron compounds are tested as new antiknock agents for gasoline. The synthesis and characterization of iron compounds are described. The acetylferrocene was obtained by Friedel-Crafts acylation of ferrocene. Infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy were used to characterize the acylation products. The ferrocene derivative added to unleaded gasoline raises the research octane number with two units.
