H.-Y. Qian, X.-L. Cui and Z.-G. Yin

Abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₈N)], has been synthesized as a prochiral agent by refluxing equimolar mixtures of acetylferrocene and 1-phenylethylamine followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. The crystal structure exhibits normal geometrical parameters. The C-N-C angle is 118.6 (4)° due to the steric effect of the benzene ring and the substituted ferrocene ring.
