chemical industry, more particularly organic and organometallic compounds. SUBSTANCE: device provided with stirrer and cooling jacket is charged with mixture of iron (III) chloride, aluminium powder and inert material, e. g. activated carbon, Al2O3 or SiO2 at weight ratio of 100.0: (4.0-6.0): (4.0-7.0) of said components, and the whole is agitated till homogeneous mixture is formed. Mixture is thermally initiated with red hot nichrome spiral or thermal match. Process then occurs authomatically and heat is liberated to prepare anhydrous iron II chloride-containing blend which comprises, wt %: FeCl2; 82.0-84.4; FeCl3, 0.0-1.5; AlCl3, 6.3-8.9; and inert material, 7.6-9.3. Blend is used without additional treatment. Yield of ferrocene is increased to 84% and yield of dicyclopentadiene up to 85.75% of theoretical amount. EFFECT: simplified method and reduced process temperature. 2 cl, 7 ex, 1 dwg, 1 tbl |
