2-(3-Ferrocenylpyrazol-1-yl)cyclohexanol: a new building block for ferrocenyl ligands

2-(3-Ferrocenylpyrazol-1-yl)cyclohexanol can be obtained efficiently by heating 3(5)-ferrocenyl pyrazole with neat epoxicyclohexane. The new ferrocenyl N,O-chelate ligand was characterized by means of spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction.
