The cyanohydrin trimethylsilyl ether of o-chlorobenzoylferrocene has been synthesized by the addition of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) in methylene chloride in the presence of zinc iodide. Its structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/n with the following crystallographic parameters: a = 9.480(3) Å, b = 22.319(6) Å, c = 9.783(3) Å, β = 101.197(4)°, μ = 0.943 mm − 1, V=2030.5(10) Å3, Z=4, F(0 0 0) = 880, D calc=1.386 mg/m3, T=293(2) K, 1.82° ≤ θ ≤ 26.40°, the final R factor: R 1=0.0366, wR 2=0.0802.
