Abstract

The first example of intramolecular diastereoselective domino reaction of ferrocene 1,1'-bis-enone to [5]ferrocenophane initiated with sodium ethylate was found. The product is [5]ferrocenophane with two pyridyl and one ethoxy substituents arranged asymmetrically in five carbon bridge. Diffraction studies showed that ferrocene is in almost ideal eclipsed conformation. The fan conformation found in the crystal is also preserved in solution, which was determined by NMR spectroscopy.
