Abstract

α-functionalization of ferrocenyl alcohols by direct C–O bond activation by indoles, active methylene compounds, electron-rich arenes, anilines, alcohols, and thiols in acetic acid is described. This protocol provides a relatively green and efficient combinatorial access to ferrocene derivatives in a metal-free manner.
