Starting from (2S,4S)-2-ferrocenyl-4-(methoxymethyl)-1,3-dioxane (4), use of the stereogenic ortho-directing menthyl para-tolyl sulfoxide group, which occupies the 2' position in the ferrocenyl ring and redirects subsequent lithiation to the 3' position, allowed the synthesis of optically pure (S(p))-1-formyl-3-iodoferrocene (8), that was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Combination of this method with a protection-deprotection strategy, using trimethylsilyl as a temporary blocking group, yielded (R(p))-1-formyl-3-iodoferrocene (13). Separate Sonogashira coupling of each of the enantiomeric iodoformylferrocenes 8 and 13 with 17alpha-ethynyl-estradiol produced (R(p))-17alpha-[(3'-formylferrocenyl)ethynyl]estradiol (14) and (S(p))-17alpha-[(3'-formylferrocenyl)ethynyl]estradiol (15), respectively.

In organic synthesis, C(sp)-H functionalization is a revolutionary method that allows direct alteration of unactivated C-H bonds. It can obviate the need for pre-functionalization and provides access to streamlined and atom economical routes for the synthesis of complex molecules starting from simple starting materials. Many strategies have evolved, such as photoredox catalysis, organocatalysis, non-directed C-H activation, transiently directed C-H activation, and native functionality directed C-H activation.

Renewable energy-driven electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction presents a low-carbon and sustainable route for ammonia synthesis under mild conditions. Yet, the practical application of this process is currently hindered by unsatisfactory electrocatalytic activity and long-term stability. Herein we achieve high-rate ammonia electrosynthesis using a stable amorphous/crystalline dual-phase Cu catalyst.
