metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(C15H18N)], has been synthesized as a prochiral agent by refluxing equimolar mixtures of acetylferrocene and 1-phenylethylamine followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. The crystal structure exhibits normal geometrical parameters. The C-N-C angle is 118.6 (4)° due to the steric effect of the benzene ring and the substituted ferrocene ring.
