title: Ortho-lithiation of free ferrocenyl alcohols: a new method for the synthesis of planar chiral ferrocene derivatives.
abstract: An ortho-metalation method for free ferrocenyl alcohols has been developed, which allows preparation of planar chiral ferrocene derivatives with high yields and diastereoselectivities.
