What is the reaction mechanism for the synthesis of formyl ferrocene with triethyl orthoformate and AlCl3?

it's a friedel-craft acylation with the triethyl orthoformate being a formyl synthon. the AlCl3 is a Lewis acid, it coordinates the ethoxy group, which is kicked off by the adjacent oxygen. The ferrocene then is the nucleophile and the rest of the reaction is a standard electrophilic aromatic substitution leaving the formyl oxonium, which is quenched to the formyl on work-up.
i think that's how it goes anyway, i haven't read the paper.

Is frying an egg a synthesis reaction?
Frying an egg is a synthesis reaction. The combination of heat which causes a reaction in the egg whites creates a chemical reaction. When you take these simple components and create a complex reaction this is a prime example of a synthesis reaction.
