“…The starting compounds 1 , 2 , 3a , and 3b , unlike 2‐ferrocenylmethylidene‐1,3‐diketones [1], react with N ‐alkylhydrazines 5a , 5b at ambient temperature to yield ethyl 1‐alkyl‐5‐aryl(methyl)‐3‐ferrocenylpyrazole‐4‐carboxylates ( 6a , 6b , 6c , 6d , 6e ) (∼50%) and the insertion products, viz ., ethyl ( N ′‐acyl‐ N ′‐alkylhydrazino)‐3‐ferrocenylpropanoates ( 7a , 7b , 7c , 7d , 7e ) (∼20%) and 1‐acyl‐2‐( N ′‐alkyl‐ N ′‐ethoxycarbonylhydrazino)‐2‐ferrocenylethanes ( 8a , 8b , 8c , 8d , 8e ) (∼10%) (Scheme ).…”
