Reaction of monocyclic ferrocenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles with β-dicarbonyl compounds

Monocyclic 3- and 5-ferrocenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles with a free NH group in the molecule react with acetylacetone to form the corresponding enaminocarbonyl compounds. The latter were isolated as a single isomer, presumably E. 3-Ferrocenyldihydropyrazoles and 5-ferrocenyl-3-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydropyrazole analogously react with acetoacetic ester. 5-Ferrocenyl-3-phenyl-, 3-(p-bromophenyl)-5-ferrocenyl, and 3,5-diferrocenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles react with acetoacetic ester to form acetoacetylpyrazolides.Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 74, No. 12, 2004, pp. 1942–1947.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by E.

Asymmetric Induction in the Synthesis of 3,4,5-Trisubstituted Ferrocenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazoles

The asymmetric induction in the synthesis of 3,4,5-trisubstituted 4,5-dihydropyrazoles with ferrocenyl substituents, starting from the E and Z isomers of ,-unsaturated ketones was studied. A high diastereoselectivity was revealed at the 1,2 chiral center chiral center induction, which is independent of the configuration of the starting chalcones.     

3,5-Bis(ferrocenylmethylene)-1-methyl-4-methylenepiperidine. Synthesis and some chemical properties

3,5-Bis(ferrocenylmethylene)-1-methyl-4-methylenepiperidine, a diferrocenyltriene with a fixeds-cisoid conformation of the exocyclic double bonds, was synthesized. On heating, this compound cyclodimerizes according to the [4+2]-cycloaddition scheme; it forms Diels-Alder adducts with azodicarboxylic and maleic acidN-phenylimides. The compound easily cyclodimerizes in the presence of acids by a proton cyclodimerization mechanism to give a spiro cyclodimer. The triene also adds a 3,5-bis(ferrocenylmethylene)-1,4-dimethyl-1-azonia-4-cyclohexyl salt to the terminal methylene group yielding linear and cyclic addition products.

Synthesis of biologically active compounds based on 2-ferrocenylmethylene-3-quinuclidone

Biologically active nitrogen heterocycles (1–7) containing ferrocene and quinuclidine fragments were synthesized. 3-Methylene-2-ferrocenylmethylenequinuiclidine forms adducts withN-phenylimides of azodicarboxylic (the structure was established by X-ray structural analysis) and malefic acids. 3-Methylene-2-fer-rocenylmethylenequinticlidine also undergoes [4+2]-cyclodimerization when heated and adds salts of the 3-methyl-2-ferrocenylmethyleneI-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-yl cation at the terminal methylene group to form a linear addition product.Instituto de Quimica, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), Circuito Exterior, Ciudad Universitaria, Coyoacan.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp 2743–2750, November, 1996.     

Ene Synthesis of Bicyclic Arylmethylenedihydropyrazoles Using 4-Phenyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione

8-Acetyl-7-aryl-2-arylmethylene-8,9-diaza- and 4,8,9-triazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-9-enes react with4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione, following the ene addition pattern. Under similar conditons 7-aryl-2-arylmethylene-8-methyl-8,9-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-9-enes give rise to both mono- and polyadditionproducts. The product structures were studied by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR, and UV spectroscopy and singlecrystal X-ray diffraction.

Electrochemical method in determination of antioxidative activity using ferrocene derivatives as examples

Electrochemical method for the evaluation of antioxidative activity of compounds based on their reaction with the stable radical, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, was suggested with monitoring of the reaction by cyclic voltammetry (CVA). Antioxidative properties of new ferrocene derivatives Fc(L)R (where Fc is the ferrocenyl, R is the fragment of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol or its aromatic analog, L is the spacer) were studied. Anodic oxidation of the compounds Fc(L)R, which contain azomethine and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol moities, proceeds in three steps, that suggests a possibility of intramolecular proton-coupled electron transfer process. Conjugates of ferrocene and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol are efficient antioxidants.
