title: Palladium-catalyzed regio- and stereoselective arylesterification of ferrocenylallene: a synthetic route to ferrocene-containing disubstituted E-allylic esters.
abstract: An efficient and concise protocol for the highly regio- and stereoselective synthesis of ferrocene-containing disubstituted E-allylic ester derivatives via a palladium-catalyzed intermolecular arylesterification reaction of ferrocenylallene with aryl iodides and carboxylic acids has been developed. The regio- and stereoselectivities of this reaction may be controlled by the steric effect of the bulky ferrocene group.
