Summary: | The new <i>bis</i>-heterocyclic compound ferrocenyl-<i>bis</i>-(1-(4-benzyl-5-morpholinooxazol-2-yl)-<i>N</i>-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)methanamine) (<b>1</b>) was synthesized in 73% overall yield in 1.5 hours via a pseudo-repetitive Ugi-Zhu five-component reaction, starting from 1,1′-ferrocenedicarboxaldehyde, 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine, and 2-isocyano-1-morpholino-3-phenylpropan-1-one, in 1:2.1:2.2 proportions, respectively, using scandium(III) triflate as a Lewis-acid catalyst, microwaves as a heat source, and toluene as a solvent. The synthesized compound was characterized by 1D (<sup>1</sup>H, <sup>13</sup>C, and <sup>19</sup>F) and 2D (COSY, HSQC, and HMBC) NMR, HRMS, and FT-IR.
