The title compound, (SS*,1S*,2R*)-[2-(p-tolylsulfinyl)-1-ferrocenyl]methanol, [Fe(C13H13O2S)(C5H5)], isolated as a racemic mixture, was synthesized via the rapid racemization/stereoselective deprotonation of (SS)-(p-toluenesulfinyl)ferrocene with lithiated ferrocene, followed by reaction with paraformaldehyde. The two cyclopentadienyl rings are almost eclipsed and are tilted 5.1 (4)° with respect to each other. Hydrogen bonding between sulfoxide O atoms and hydroxyl H atoms produces infinite one-dimensional molecular chains.
