Four planar-chiral, enantiomerically pure ferrocene dibromides (3 R1R2 ; [(CHR 1 R 2 )BrH 3 C 5 ] 2 Fe) equipped with two CHR 1 R 2 groups in α position to bromine were synthesized. From the four C 2 symmetrical species, two are already known [CHR 1 R 2 = CHMe 2 (3 MeMe ), CHEt 2 (3 EtEt )] and two are new compoundsThe dibromides 3 R1R2 were in situ converted into dilithio ferrocene derivatives and reacted with Cl 2 BNiPr 2 resulting in mixtures of bora[1]-ferrocenophanes (4 R1R2 ) and 1,1′-bis(boryl)ferrocenes (5 R1R2 ). The aim of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that the alkyl group that is oriented approximately perpendicular to the Cp ring, i.e., R 2 , affects the outcome of the salt-metathesis reaction. The obtained product ratios 4 R1R2 :5 R1R2 were determined by 1 H NMR spectroscopy and revealed that systems with the same R 2 group gave similar 4 R1R2 :5 R1R2 ratios (1.0:0.51 and 1.0:0.49 for R 2 = Me; 1.0:0.30 and 1.0:0.27 for R 2 = Et), confirming the hypothesis. Shown by DFT calculations (B3PW91/6-311+G(d,p)), reaction paths resulting in either product 4 R1R2 or product 5 R1R2 are both concerted steps.
