The Lewis (or Brønsted) acid‐catalyzed reaction of 2‐aryl‐ N ‐sulfonyl aziridines with ferrocene and ruthenocene provided new amino‐functionalized metallocene derivatives arising from a regioselective ring opening of the aziridine. The functionalized metallocene derivatives available by this methodology are suitable precursors for the stereoselective synthesis of metallocene analogues of the relevant tetrahydroisoquinoline motif by a Pictet‐Spengler type reaction. These isoquinoline analogues are also accessible by a TfOH‐catalyzed three‐component reaction of 2‐aryl‐ N ‐sulfonyl aziridines, ferrocene (or ruthenocene) and formaldehyde.
