Enantioselective deprotometalation of <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dialkyl ferrocenecarboxamides using metal amides

Abstract

Our attempts to deprotometalate <italic>N</italic>,<italic>N</italic>-dialkyl ferrocenecarboxamides enantioselectively by using chiral lithium or lithium–zinc dialkylamides are reported.
