Synthesis and Characterization of Some Novel Ferrocenyl Derivatives of Pyrazole Analogues
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Pyrazoles have been studied for over a century as an important class of heterocyclic compounds and continue to attract considerable interest due to the broad range of biological activities they possess. The incorporation of the essential structural features of pyrazoles with a ferrocene moiety could provide new derivatives with unexpected and/or enhanced biological activities since several ferrocene derivatives have already been shown to be active against a number of tumors. For this reason, we investigated the synthesis of ferrocenyl-substituted pyrazoles, such as sI-alkyl/aryl-5-ferrocenylpyrazoles, by employing the reaction between (2-formyl-1-chlorovinyl) ferrocene and hydrazine derivatives. Although this reaction is known, it was not studied in much detail and the low yields of ferrocenyl pyrazoles were obtained. Thus, reinvestigation of this reaction improved the yields of pyrazoles by optimizing the reaction conditions. (2-Formyl-1-chlorovinyl) ferrocene was first reacted with the excess amount (3 equivalents) of hydrazine derivative at 250C in dioxane under argon for 2 hours, and the resulting mixture was then heated at 1000C for 6 hours in the same solvent. Under our optimized conditions, these reactions afforded 1-alkyl/aryl-5-ferrocenylpyrazole derivatives in moderate to good yields as a single or major product of the reaction.1-2 In some cases, 1-alkyl/aryl-3-ferrocenylpyrazole derivatives resulted from these reactions as very minor products. Keywords: Ferrocene, pyrazole, ferrocenyl pyrazole derivatives, 1-alkyl/aryl-5-ferrocenylpyrazoles, 1-alkyl/aryl-3-ferrocenylpytrazoles, hydrazines.
