Significance

The authors report a highly enantio­selective route to the synthesis of 2-acyl-1-di­methylaminomethylferrocene derivatives with planar chirality via a palladium-catalyzed asymmetric C–H bond activation using monoprotected amino ­acids as chiral ligands.

Comment

Due to their important role in promoting various asymmetric catalyzed reactions, 2-acyl-1-dimethylaminomethylferrocene derivatives with planar chirality were provided under one-pot reaction conditions in moderate to good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities via a palladium-catalyzed direct acylation of ferrocene.
