Abstract Reaction of the appropriate reagent Fc(CH2)(n)CHRX (1-3, 6, and 9) with sodium salt of diethyl malonate in dry xylene gave 81-91% of the corresponding diethyl (ferrocenylalkyl)malonate or diethyl ferrocenyl(phenyl)alkylmalonate (11). Using Fc(CH2)(n)CHRX (4, 7, 8 and 10) under similar reaction conditions, transesterification products - ethyl ferrocenylalkyl malonates or ethyl ferrocenyl(phenyl)alkyl malonates (12) were obtained. Reduction of condensation products 11 with lithium aluminium hydride in diethyl ether gave the corresponding diols 13 (45-66%), which will be in further studies subjected to lipase-mediated transformations with vinyl acetate to chiral monoacetates. By the action of acetic anhydride on diols 13 in a benzene solution, the corresponding mono- 14 (25-52%) and diacetates 15 (36-51%) were obtained.
