title: Recent advances in transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization of ferrocene derivatives.
abstract: Transition metal-catalyzed C-H bond functionalizations of ferrocene derivatives have emerged in the last few years as a versatile tool in synthetic organometallic chemistry. These protocols offer significant advantages over more traditional approaches for the synthesis of functionalized ferrocene derivatives in terms of both atom- and step-economy. In this Perspective, we aim to showcase the state of the art in this field, with special emphasis on recent asymmetric methodologies.
