Abstract: | Starting from (2S,4S)-2-ferrocenyl-4-(methoxymethyl)-1,3-dioxane (4), use of the stereogenic ortho-directing menthyl para-tolyl sulfoxide group, which occupies the 2' position in the ferrocenyl ring and redirects subsequent lithiation to the 3' position, allowed the synthesis of optically pure (S(p))-1-formyl-3-iodoferrocene (8), that was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Combination of this method with a protection-deprotection strategy, using trimethylsilyl as a temporary blocking group, yielded (R(p))-1-formyl-3-iodoferrocene (13). Separate Sonogashira coupling of each of the enantiomeric iodoformylferrocenes 8 and 13 with 17alpha-ethynyl-estradiol produced (R(p))-17alpha-(3'-formylferrocenyl)ethynyl]estradiol (14) and (S(p))-17alpha-(3'-formylferrocenyl)ethynyl]estradiol (15), respectively. |
