title: 1,2:5,6-Di-O-isopropyl-idene-α-d-3-glucofuranosyl (R(p))-2-(diphenyl-phosphino)ferrocene-1-carboxyl-ate.
abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(30)H(32)O(7)P)], which is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of (R(p))-2-(diphenyl-phos-phino)ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid, crystallizes in the common chiral space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). In general, the mol-ecular geometry is very similar to that of the corresponding 2,1'-bis-(diphenyl-phosphino) congener. The ferrocene unit assumes a regular geometry with the proximal bulky substituents efficiently avoiding mutual spatial contacts. In the crystal, the mol-ecules participate in weak intra- and inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions.
