Synthesis, characterization, and nucleophilic substitutions of dimethyl(2-ferrocenoylethyl)sulfonium iodide

The title salt was synthesized and submitted to reaction with several N-, S-, and O-nucleophiles (to give the corresponding β-functionalized 1-ferrocenylpropan-1-ones), as well as with C-nucleophiles (to give products containing a new C-C bond).
