Abstract

Ytterbium triflate [Yb(OTf)3]–catalyzed Friedel–Crafts acylation of ferrocene with anhydrides or acyl chlorides in n‐butylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (BPyBF4) ionic liquid proceeded smoothly under mild conditions. The immobilized catalytic system (solvent/catalyst) was easily recovered and reused without any loss of activity. Chemoselective monoacylferrocenes were obtained in high yields by this catalytic system.
