ABSTRACT: N-Heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed oxidative esterification of ferroceneboronic acid by aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes affords the new ferrocenol hetaryl and aryl esters 1 - 4, 6 - 8 and 9 - 11. The reaction takes place under mild conditions. The X-ray crystal structure of ferrocenyl esters 3, 6, 11 was determined.
