title: (S,R,Rp)-N,N-Dimethyl-1-{2-[(1-phenyl-ethyl)amino-meth-yl]ferrocen-yl}ethanamine.
abstract: The title chiral ferrocene compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(18)H(25)N(2))], contains one planar and two central chiral centers. It is of inter-est with respect to asymmetric catalysis. The absolute configuration of the planar chirality is Rp at the ferrocene group and those of the two C chiral centers are R at the CH carbon of the ethanamine unit and S at the CH carbon of the phenyl-ethyl-amino substituent. In the ferrocenyl unit, the cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings are planar, with maximum deviations of 0.002 (2) Å for the substituted and 0.008 (3) Å for the unsubstituted Cp ring. The dihedral angle between the ring planes is 2.12 (15)° and the rings are twisted slightly from an eclipsed conformation by 7.06-7.60°.
