The synthesis of chiral ferrocenyl carbocations is described starting from enantiopure orthosubstituted ferrocenylcarboxaldehydes. Secondary or tertiary carbocations have been prepared by ionization of an alcohol precursor. The stereochemistry of secondary α-ferrocenylcarbenium ions has been defined. Preliminary tests as Lewis acid catalysts have been performed. Chirality 9:478–486, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
