The ferrocene analogue of salicylic acid, 2-hydroxyferrocenecarboxylic acid was synthesized via monolithiation of ferrocene with t-butyllithium, and resolved to optically active forms. Optically active 2-hydroxyferrocenecarboxylic acid was converted to 1-hydroxyferrocenecarbaldehyde, ferrocene analogue of salicylaldehyde, and 2-alkoxyferrocenecarboxylic acids. The later compounds were used as chiral carboxylato ligands for the rhodium(II)-catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular C–H insertion of α-diazo β-keto esters (up to 42% ee).
