A series of N-ortho-ferrocenyl benzoyl amino acid ethyl esters 3–9 have been prepared by coupling ortho-ferrocenyl benzoic acid 2 to the amino acid ethyl esters of glycine, l-alanine, l-leucine, l-phenylalanine, β-alanine, 4-aminobutyric acid and (±)-2-aminobutyric acid using the conventional 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole protocol. The compounds were fully characterized by a range of NMR spectroscopic techniques and by mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS, ESI-MS). The X-ray crystal structure of the l-phenylalanine derivative 6 has been determined.
