A simple, convenient and environmentally-friendly method for selective acylation of ferrocene to monoacylferrocene in the presence of Zn metal under solvent-free conditions is described. The protocol requires mild operating conditions, affording higher yields of desired products both with acyl chloride/carboxylic acid within a short reaction time (15–30 min).
