%X [RhCp*(OAc)2(H2O)] [Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl] catalyzed the C¨CH bond amidation of ferrocenes possessing directing groups with isocyanates in the presence of 2 equiv/Rh of HBF4¡¤OEt2. A variety of disubstituted ferrocenes were prepared in high yields, or excellent diastereoselectivities.
