Kedge, Jonathan L. "Synthesis of ferrocene nucleic acid monomers and ferrocene containing drug candidates." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2017. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/7424/.
Full textAbstract:
The first ferrocene nucleic acid (FcNA) was reported by the Tucker group in 2012. Furnished with two nucleobases and two hydroxyl groups, the tetrasubstituted metallocene assumes the position traditionally occupied by the two sugars of a dinucleotide. This thesis describes the successful synthesis of two FcNA monomers; a tetrasubstituted dithyminyl variation and a disubstituted control compound bearing no nucleobases. These monomers were oligomerised, their binding characteristics assessed by thermal melting studies, and compared to other monomers belonging to the group. Through the study of these compounds the Tucker group has demonstrated that FcNA monomers behave similarly to conventional nucleic acids, displaying selective H-bonding and π-stacking interactions within a hybrid duplex. A preliminary methodology for the production of diguaninyl FcNA monomers was also explored. As published in 2014, the corresponding disubstituted systems, in which a hydroxyl and a nucleobase are linked through a sugar-like ferrocene unit, are also being investigated as potential nucleoside analogues. Adding to the groups growing library, a number of related compounds were synthesised in which the hydroxyl linker length, the planar chirality, the substitution pattern of the ferrocene and the nucleobase were varied. The compounds were electrochemically characterised and assessed for their biological activity which revealed interesting structure-activity-relationships involving both the redox potentials and chirality. Following the example of ferroquine and ferrocifen, in which existing pharmaceuticals are modified through the incorporation of ferrocene, the synthesis and preliminary biological activity of novel ferrocenyl β-blockers, in which the metallocene replaces the napthol unit of the prototypical β-blocker propranolol, is reported herein.

This thesis explores the capacity of sterically and electronically unsaturated boranes to bind substrates of biological and environmental interest, and transduce such binding events into a photo-physical and/or electrochemical response, hence reporting the presence of these substrates. Chapter three details the synthesis of a range of novel ferrocenyl boranes featuring either a proximal hydrogen-bond donor or a second Lewis acidic centre. These novel boranes were shown to be competent at binding both cyanide and fluoride anions, with the role played by a proximal hydrogen-bond donor or a second Lewis acidic centre in anion binding investigated by both NMR and crystallographic studies. Chapter four reports the synthesis of novel pyridinyl and related boronic esters, as well as unexpected mixed alkenyl/aryl boranes. The capacity of both types of system to bind fluoride or cyanide anions in solution was investigated by UV-Vis and NMR studies. The photo-physical responses to these anions were also probed, leading to the establishment of both switch-on and switch-off fluorescent responses. Chapter five extends the knowledge derived from selective anion receptor design and combines this with recent developments in the field of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) to activate, bind and report the presence of nitrous oxide (N2O) molecule. Thus, the syntheses of novel, highly Lewis acidic ferrocenyl boranes that incorporate a high degree of steric loading around the boron centre are reported. The electrochemical and photo-physical response of an FLP system to the presence of N2O was investigated leading to the development of a novel N2O reporting system.

Full textAbstract:
Chiral recognition, determination of enantiomeric excess and the separation of enantiomers are challenging problems for the chemist. This work has as its aim the design and syntheses of new electrochemical chiral receptors for neutral molecules. All the receptors prepared contain a ferrocene group as electroactive reporting unit. The differences among the receptors mainly relate to the binding site and the chiral group. The first type of receptor, presented in Chapter 2, consists of chiral ferrocene containing boronic acids that have been used to electrochemically sense aromatic and aliphatic chiral and achiral diols. The electrochemical determination of the enantiomeric excess of a mixture of two enantiomers of Binol performed with one of these boronic acids represents a new advance in supramolecular chiral sensing. In Chapter 3 the synthesis of ferrocene-containing chiral macrocycles of different sizes is described. The binding site is a cavity featuring a diamidopyridine moiety, with the chirality introduced through a Binol unit. These receptors showed low interaction with achiral cyclic ureas and chiral carboxylic acids. Chapter 4 describes the study of self-assembled monolayers onto gold surfaces. The monolayers are formed by ferrocene-containing amides of lipoic (thioctic) acid and, for the first time, isolipoic acid. The studies indicate that isolipoic acid could be an attractive anchor group for SAM formation when strong control over the chirality of the monolayer is required.

Full textAbstract:
Organometallic complexes containing transition metals, such as Ru(II), Os(II), Ir(III), have been moderately and recently used in medicinal chemistry as anticancer, antimalarial, antimicrobial or diagnostic agents. Current trends have led researchers to explore and define new synthetic methods in the quest for the design of new drugs and reduce the inherit associated toxic side-effects by using metal based compounds. Ferrocene based derivatives have been subjected to study for their biological and medicinal applications. Examples include ferrocenophane polyphenol, ferrocenyl quinone methides, ferrocenyl-aminoquinoline-carboxamide and a ferrocene-substituted hydroxytamoxifen, which has been proved as a potential new breast cancer therapeutic. Ferroquine displays antimalarial activity and ferrocifen is a tamoxifen-ferrocene anticancer agent. During the course of our research, we have focused on synthesizing and studying the biological activity of novel organometallic compounds containing the corresponding ferrocene moiety. We aimed to make, at least, 3 different families of compounds, which were cannabinoid receptor (CB1/CB2 receptor agonists), histone deacetylase (HDAC) selective inhibitors and general kinase inhibitors. Firstly, a review covering the state-of-the-art in bioorganometallic chemistry will be presented. Secondly, we started with the synthesis of a small library of compounds containing the following groups: ferrocenylamine, 4-oxo-1, 4-dihydropyridine and dihydroquinoline. We used aminoferrocene as a bioisostere of the adamantylamine group where previous studies of compounds containing the latter group had showed it to effectively interact with the cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2. Some of our compounds displayed good to excellent potency in the nM range against the CB1 and CB2 receptors. Thirdly, we embarked to synthesise HDAC inhibitors knowing their potential as anti-cancer drugs and trying to obtain, wherever possible, enzyme isoform selectivity. One of the well-known HDAC inhibitors is suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). Vorinastat, as it is also known, has received Food and Drug Administration approval for treating patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The compound developed in our group by replacing ferrocene for the phenyl ring in SAHA, called JAHA, is another example of a highly potent HDAC inhibitor. Our research led to compounds where the hydroxamic acid moiety in JAHA has been replaced by a benzamide group. This transformation has produced a significant effect in delivering a potent HDAC3 selective HDAC inhibitor. This is supported by biological studies and a molecular modelling rationalisation. Next, a series of oxindole based analogues have been synthesized by the Knoevenagel condensation reaction of: 5-(pentafluorosulfanyl)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one and 6-(pentafluorosulfanyl)-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one compound with: ferrocenecarboxaldehyde and pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde. The compounds thereby synthesised have been studied against a panel of kinases, and kinase inhibitory data will be discussed and presented. In a Future directions section, we will describe the synthesis of FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase) inhibitors based on an aminoferrocene backbone.

The synthesis, characterisation and anion binding properties of a series of mono- and bifunctional Lewis acidic borylferrocene compounds are described within this thesis. The original parent compound FcBMes₂ (3.1), revealed a versatile route for the synthesis of such borylferrocenes and subsequently the analogous compound Fc*BMes₂ (3.2) was synthesised. The anion binding properties of (3.1) and (3.2) were investigated and both were shown to bind one equivalent of cyanide. The binding event was signalled by an electrochemical shift (ca. -560 mV) and a quenching of bands at 510 or 542 nm respectively in the UV/Vis spectrum, while the mode of anion binding in the solid state was established by X-ray crystallography for [nBu₄N]⁺[(3.1)·CN]⁻. Incorporation of a suitable redox active dye (i.e. tetrazolium violet for 3.2) allowed conversion of the electrochemical response to a colorimetric change on cyanide binding. However, a competing response for fluoride is also seen for (3.1) and (3.2). Thus a two component system is reported involving (3.2) and the boronic ester FcB(OR)₂ (3.4), [where (OR)₂ = OCH(Ph)CH(Ph)O], which from previous research is known to selectively bind fluoride, and allows for selective colorimetric cyanide sensing by simple Boolean AND/NOT logic. 1,4-C₆H₄(BMes₂)[B(OR)₂] (3.5), 4,4-C12H₈(BMes₂)[B(OR)₂] (3.6) and 1,1′-fc(BMes2)(B(OR)2) (3.7) were synthesised as possible single molecules for discrimination between cyanide and fluoride. (3.5) and (3.6) proved only capable of binding one equivalent of either anion, (3.7) showed some ability to bind two equivalents of fluoride however based on ESI-MS studies although only in the presence of a large excess of anion. Systematic variation of the para-boryl substituent was investigated by synthesis of compounds FcB(XylF)₂ (4.1), FcB(Xyl)₂ (4.2) and FcB(XylOMe)₂ (4.3). Anion binding studies reveal a linear increase in fluoride binding affinity consistent with that expected based on the para,/em>-Hammett parameters, however with only minor differences, while no pattern is observed with respect to their cyanide binding capabilities. The addition of neutral and cationic peripheral substituents has been investigated through synthesis of [1,2-fc(CH₂NMe₂)BMes₂] (4.6) and [1,2-fc(CH₂NMe₃)BMes₂]⁺ (4.7). Subsequent binding studies revealed (4.6) to be moisture sensitive, however reaction of (4.7) with fluoride and cyanide led to formation of the adducts [(4.7)·F]⁻ and [(4.7)·CN]⁻. The anion affinity of (4.7) exhibits a substantial increase when compared to the parent compound (3.1). Even when compared to the isomeric 1,1′ system an increase of approximately three orders of magnitude is seen attributed to the closer nature of the cationic charge and in the fluoride adduct the presence of a cooperative intramolecular hydrogen bond. The 1,1′-bifunctional analogues of the mono-substituted systems were synthesised [e.g. 1,2-fc(BMes₂)₂ (5.1)] and shown to complex two equivalents of fluoride or cyanide in acetonitrile. The 1:1 cyanide adduct of (5.1) was isolated in chloroform however, no evidence for chelation was observed. The analogous systems 1,2-fc(BMes₂)₂ (5.5), 1,2-fc(BXyl₂)2 (5.7), and 1,2-fc(BMes₂)(BXyl₂) (5.8) were also investigated. Reaction of (5.5) with fluoride and cyanide revealed it to bind only one equivalent of either anion, neither however was bound in a chelating fashion although X-ray crystallography revealed cyanide binds exo whilst fluoride binds endo to the B···B cavity. Finally the kinetics of fluoride binding were studied by UV/Vis spectroscopy and showed a systematic increase in rate constant upon reduction of steric bulk.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The use of chiral oxazoline directed lithiation provides a highly diastereoselective (up to >99% de) route to meta functionalised inherently chiral calixarenes. This methodology can be used on both the butylated and debutylated calixarene systems and is tolerant of a wide range of different electrophillic quenches allowing access to a structurally diverse range of inherently chiral metafunctionalised calixarenes. The oxazoline directing group can be removed via hydrolysis, generating a range of functionalised calixarene carboxylic acids in high ee. We also demonstrate that the use of derivative alkyllithiums such as cyclopentyl lithium can provide significantly enhanced diastereoselectivity over the conventional organolithiums such as sec-butyl lithium, when employed in ortholithiation reactions of this nature. The differences in diastereoselectivity associated with the different alkyllithiums can be tied, in certain cases, to the steric bulkiness associated with the individual reagents. In this regard we have found that the use of the so called Tolman angle or cone angle approach allows quantification of the relative steric bulk of the alkyllithium. We also detail that the oxazoline directing group provides a hitherto unknown ability to be diastereoselectively tuned through the choice of the ligand system in the ortholithiation reaction. In this regard the development of a series of diglyme based ligands have proved to provide a highly diastereoselective means of inverting the chirality from that which the use of the conventional TMEDA ligand is able to generate (up to –92% de). The use of diglyme ligands to invert the sense of chirality is also shown to occur on the ferrocenyloxazoline system and presents an apparently general and hitherto unknown facet of asymmetric oxazoline directed ortholithiation. This diglyme induced inversion has been shown to be controlled through a secondary nitrogen coordinated mechanism that is able to operate with chiral oxazolines.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die gebruik van chirale oksasoliengerigte litiëring verskaf ’n hoogs diastereoselektiewe (tot en met >99% do) roete om metagefunksionaliseerde, inherente chirale calixareen produkte te sintetiseer. Deur gebruik te maak van verskillende elektrofiele kan die metodologie toegepas word op beide gebutileerde en de-gebutileerde calixareen sisteme om ’n reeks uiteenlopende inherente chirale, meta-gefunksionaliseerde calixareen produkte te vorm. Die oksasolien groep kan daarna verwyder word deur hidroliese om ’n reeks gefunksionaliseerde calixareenkarboksielsure te vorm in baie hoë eo. Ons het ook gedemonstreer dat die gebruik van afgeleide alkiel-litiums, soos siklopentiel-litium, kan bydrae tot aansienlik verhoogde diastereoselektiwiteit as dit vergelyk word met meer algemene organolitiums soos sekbutiellitium, tydens ortolitiëring reaksies van hierdie natuur. Die verskille in diastereoselektiwiteit kan verbind word, in sekere gevalle, tot die steriese bonkigheid van die individuele reagense. Deur gebruik te maak van die sogenaamde Tolmanhoeke of die koniesehoek benadering is dit moontlik om die relatiewe steriese bonkighied van alkiellitiums te kwantifiseer. Daar was ook bepaal dat die oksasoliengroep die ongekende vermoë besit om die diastereoselektiwiteit van die produk te stem deur die keuse van verskillende ligand sisteme tydens die ortolitiëring reaksie. Daar was bepaal dat die chiralitiet van die produkte omgekeer kan word op ’n hoogs diastereoselektiewe manier, deur gebruik te maak van ’n reeks ontwikkelde diglymegebaseerde ligande, indien dit vergelyk word met die produkte wat deur die konvensionele TMEDA gegenereer was (tot en met –92% do). Die gebruik van diglyme ligande was ook getoets op ferroseenoksasolien sisteme en dit was bevind dat dieselfde omkering in chiraliteit ook plaasvind wat aanleiding kan gee tot 'n oënskynlik algemene en tot nou toe onbekende faset van asimmetriese oksasoliengerigte orto-litiëring. Dit is bepaal dat hierdie diglyme geïnduseerde omkering in chiraliteit beheer word deur middel van 'n sekondêre stikstofgekoördineerde meganisme, wat in staat is om saam te werk met chirale oksasoliene.

Full textAbstract:
This research project is concentrated on tuning the properties of small organic molecules, namely polyacenes, tropones and thiepins, by incorporating redox-active transition metal centers π-bonded to terminal cyclopentadienyl ligands. Organometallic-fused acenequinones, tropones, thiepins and cyclopentadiene-capped polyacenes were synthesized and characterized. This work was divided into three parts: first, the synthesis of ferrocene-fused acenequinones, cyclopentadiene-capped acenequinones and their subsequent aromatization to polyacenes; second, the synthesis of ferrocene-fused tropones, thiotropones and tropone oxime; and third, the synthesis of ferrocene-fused thiepins. Ferrocene-fused quinones are the precursors to our target complexes. Our synthetic route to ferrocenequinones involved two-fold aldol condensation between 1,2-diformylferrocene and naphthalene-1,4-diol or anthracene-1,4-diol, and four-fold condensation between 1,2-diformylferrocene and 1,4-cyclohexanedione. Reduction of ferrocene-fused quinones with borane in THF resulted in ferrocene-fused dihydroacenes. Attempts to reduce ferrocene-fused acenequinones with sodium dithionite led to metal-free cyclopentadiene- (Cp-) capped acenequinones. Cp-capped acenequinones were aromatized to bis(triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl polyacenes by using lithium (triisopropylsilyl)acetylide (TIPSC≡CLi) with subsequent dehydroxylation by stannous chloride. The compounds were characterized by using spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography. Further, the electronic properties of these compounds were studied by using cyclic voltammetry and UV-visible spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetry showed oxidation potentials of Cp-capped TIPS-tetracene and bis-Cp-capped TIPS-anthracene as 0.49 V and 0.61 V, respectively (vs. ferrocene/ferrocenium). The electrochemical band gaps were 2.15 eV and 2.58 eV, respectively. Organic thin-film transistor device performance of Cp-capped polyacenes was studied using solution deposition bottom-contact, bottom-gate (BCBG) device architecture and the resulting performance parameters are described herein.
Similarly, we are also interested in potential applications of metallocene-fused tropones and derivatives as organic electronic materials. Condensation of 1,2-diformylferrocene with acetone or 1,3-diphenylacetone in the presence of KOH resulted in the ferrocene-fused tropone (η5-2,4-cyclopentadien-1-yl)[(1,2,3,3a,8a-η)-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-1-azulenyl]iron (1, R = H, E = O) and its 5,7-diphenyl derivative (1, R = Ph, E = O) as previously reported by Tirouflet. The use of piperidine as base resulted in Michael addition of piperidine to one of the carbon-carbon double bonds of the tropones. Lawesson’s reagent converted the ferrocene-fused tropones to either a thiotropone (1, R = H, E = S) or a detached 5,7-diphenylazulenethiol (2). Reaction of the ferrocene-fused thiotropone with hydroxylamine gave the corresponding oxime (1, R = H, E = NOH). Products were characterized by using spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography. Their electronic properties were studied by using cyclic voltammetry and UV-visible spectroscopy.
The third project involved the two-fold aldol condensation of 1,2-diformylferrocene with dimethylthioglycolate S-oxide in the presence of freshly distilled triethylamine, which gave mono- and di-dehydrated products. Deoxygenation of the ferrocene-fused thiepin S-oxide with 2-chloro-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphole in the presence of pyridine resulted in the corresponding thiepin. The ester groups of the thiepin and thiepin S-oxide were hydrolyzed under basic conditions to give carboxylic acids, which were converted into acid chlorides using oxalyl chloride. Attempts to decarboxylate the thiepin and thiepin S-oxide diacids resulted in decomposition.

Full textAbstract:
Chiral sensing is a challenging field for the chemist. Not many sensors for chiral recognition have been studied, and only a few examples of electrochemical chiral sensors are known in the literature. The aim of this project was to synthesise novel ferrocenyl-based chiral receptors, and to study their applications for chiral sensing in solution or upon incorporation onto gold surfaces as self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). From the solution studies it was possible to gain further information on the electrochemical behaviour of ferrocenyl-based receptors during the sensing of chiral carboxylates. The incorporation of receptors onto electrode surfaces led to an economy on the amount of compound required and higher sensitivity in analyte detection. However, the chiral recognition properties and the stability of the SAMs still need to be improved. Multifunctional receptors containing BINOL and ferrocenyl reporting groups were investigated to compare the use of electrochemistry and fluorescence spectroscopy in the chiral recognition of carboxylic acids, amino acid derivatives, or amino acid anions. Finally, a DNA analogue in which ferrocenyl units were incorporated in the backbone was studied. The electrochemical properties of this system as a single strand and in its interaction with complementary strands of DNA and PNA were investigated.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this project was to prepare novel ferrocene-based Hydrogen-bonding receptors and to study them in the electrochemical sensing of neutral compounds and in organocatalysed transformations. The synthesis and characterisation of 2-ferrocenyl oxazoles via gold chemistry to access a new H-bonding motif for electrochemical sensing was successfully achieved. However the targeted structure bearing a secondary amine at the 4-position of the oxazole, was found to be highly unstable and unsuitable for sensing applications. Further studies on ferrocene-based H-bonding systems towards their application in asymmetric organocatalysis were also carried out. Different chiral and achiral ferrocene-(thio)ureas were prepared and tested in four organic reactions. Their performances in the Henry and in the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions gave acceptable yields but did not show significant enantioselectivities. A bi-functional ferrocene-thiourea was found to be effective in the enamine co-catalysed aldol reaction of acetone and \(trans-β\)-nitrostyrene, and in the double Michael cycloaddition of ω-nitropentenoate methyl and \(trans-β\)-nitrostyrene, leading to a tetrasubstituted cyclopentane. The H-bonding properties of the ferrocene-(thio)ureas with carboxylates was also studied by \(^1\)H NMR spectroscopy. Finally, approaches towards the preparation of ferrocene-based boronate-ureas were investigated.

Full textAbstract:
GCN4 is a yeast transcriptional factor, which binds sequence selectively to DNA as a homodimer. Two domains are required to achieve this, an N-terminal basic domain, which interacts with the target site directly, and the C-terminal leucine zipper responsible for dimerisation. The latter can be replaced by chemically linking together two basic domains, to retain similar DNA binding. This work investigates using a ferrocene complex as the dimerization unit due to its flexibility and its characteristic electrochemical redox properties. A strategy was proposed which took advantage of coupling to the thiol side chains of two cysteine residues, and detailed studies on dimerising two equivalents of Cys, or the tripeptide glutathione, were performed. Design of five peptides based on GCN4, which were synthesized and dimerized with a ferrocene linker molecule, to combine the attractive redox electrochemistry of the stable ferrocene and the DNA binding ability of GCN4 dimerized basic domain. Molecular dynamic models were produced for four of the ferrocene peptide dimer complexes bound to target DNA over 10 ns. Their DNA binding ability was investigated by circular dichroism, and electrochemistry was studied in the absence and presence of non-specific and target DNA respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Development of synthetic routes toward two general organometallic frameworks was undertaken. The first project involved synthetic attempts of substituted and unsubstituted ferroceno[c]thiophene while the second one was the synthesis of 1,2-dithienylmetallocenes. The long-term goal of this work is to lay the foundations for study of electronic, electrochromic, redox, and optical properties of thiophene-based materials integrated with organometallic systems such as ferrocene, ruthenocene and cymantrene. The synthetic pathway for the target molecule in the first project involved converting 1,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)ferrocene to 1,2-bis(thiouroniummethyl)ferrocene with thiourea under acidic conditions. Refluxing the salt in base followed by acidification resulted in 1,2-bis(mercaptomethyl)ferrocene, which is oxidized to the cyclic ferroceno[d]-1,2-dithiane. Ring contraction of cyclic dithiane gave the thioether, ferroceno[c]-2,5-dihydrothiophene. Periodate oxidation of the thioether gave ferroceno[c]-2,5-dihydrothiophene-S-oxide (1), a potential precursor for ferroceno[c]thiophene via Pummerer dehydration. Attempts to dehydrate 1 and to trap the resulting thiophene in situ indicated instability of the target compound. Synthesis of ferroceno[c]thiophene with electron-donating as well as electron-withdrawing substituents at the 2,5-positions of the thiophene ring was attempted.
1,2–Dithienylethenes and their derivatives have gained increased attention due to their exceptional photochromic property. They tend to be thermally irreversible but photochemically reversible, which is a vital for their potential use in optical memories, switches and other optoelectronic applications. Inspiration of the second project was that incorporation of 1,2-dithienyl systems into metallocenes would enhance the general properties of the molecule, including stability, fatigue resistance, solid-state reactivity and higher sensitivity. 1,2-Dithienylferrocene was successfully synthesized. The synthetic pathway for 1,2-dithienylferrocene involved the reaction of α-bromo-3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylthiophene (1) with ethyl 4-(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)-3-oxobutanoate (2) to give 2,3-diarylcyclopent-2-en-1-one (3).
Compounds 1 and 2 were synthesized following literature methods. Compound 3 was then converted to its cyclopentadienide form by first reducing the ketone to alcohol using LAH, followed by dehydration and then deprotonation of the substituted cyclic diene using butyllithium to give 1,2-bis(2,5-dimethylthiophene)-2,4-cyclopentadien-1-yl)lithium (4). [Fe(fluorenyl)(Cp)] was then used as a transfer reagent and reacted with 4 to yield the target compound.

Full textAbstract:
Polyheterocycles such as polythiophene and its derivatives comprise an important class of conducting polymers used for electronic applications. They have been of great interest for use in electronic materials due to their increased environmental stability as well as novel electronic properties in their polymer states. We have been interested in exploring the electronic properties of organometallic analogues of the low-band-gap polymer poly(benzo[3,4-c]thiophene) (polyisothianaphthene) that incorporates η5-cyclopenta[c]thienyl monomers such as ferroceno[c]thiophene. First chapter of this dissertation involved synthetic attempts to ferroceno[c]thiophene. Exploring a shorter synthetic route to starting material, 1,2-di(hydroxymethyl)ferrocene was the first task. This was followed by attempts to synthesize an important precursor, 1,3-dihydroferroceno[c]thiophene to our target molecule, ferroceno[c]thiophene. In order to achieve our target precursor molecule, 1,3-dihydroferroceno[c]thiophene, we reacted 1,2-di(hydroxymethyl)ferrocene with H2S/H2SO4 and Na2S/HBF4 respectively. Reaction of 1,2-di(hydroxymethyl)ferrocene with either H2S/H2SO4 or Na2S/HBF4 results in 2,16-dithia[3.3](1,2)ferrocenophane instead of monomeric 1,3-dihydroferroceno[c]thiophene. Dehydration of 1,2-di(hydroxymethyl)ferrocene with dilute H2SO4 resulted in 2,16-dioxa[3.3](1,2)ferrocenophane. Formation of the five-membered tetrahydrothiophene or tetrahydrofuran rings is probably disfavored compared to formation of the ten-membered ferrocenophane rings because of greater strain in the five-membered rings. Thus, in order to achieve our target molecule ferroceno[c]thiophene, we took an alternate route. We decided to pursue the route with 1,4-dihydro-2,3-ferrocenodithiin being the precursor to our final target molecule. This was successfully accomplished. 1,2-Di(hydroxymethyl)ferrocene reacts with thiourea in the presence of catalytic trifluoroacetic acid to give a water-soluble thiouronium salt, which reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide in air to give 1,4-dihydro-2,3-ferrocenodithiin, via oxidation of the intermediate 1,2 di(mercaptomethyl)ferrocene. 1,4-dihydro-2,3-ferrocenodithiin, an important precursor to our desired heterocyclic chemistry was synthesized.
The increased emission of CO2, a greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere is a matter of serious worldwide concern. Every year a few gigatons of CO2 are added to the atmosphere by various anthropogenic activities like burning of fuel for electricity, running industry and transportation. Thus, developing ways to reduce the emission of CO2 to the atmosphere is of major importance. Although the amine-based absorption method is considered the most reliable, it is an expensive alternative. The catalyzed enhancement of CO2 absorption is a critical component to reduce the capital cost of CO2 capture. Specifically, an effective catalyst will increase the CO2 hydration rate, thereby decreasing the size of the absorber tower needed. In biological systems, CO2 hydration is catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which contains ZnII in its active site. Carbonic anhydrase typically is not stable enough to be used in an industrial process, therefore, there is a need to synthesize robust, inexpensive CO2 hydration catalysts.
Majority work of this dissertation focuses on designing catalysts that show high CO2 hydration rate similar to carbonic anhydrase while showing superiority towards temperature, pH and inhibitors. We focused our efforts on complexes of Zn, Cu and Co with ligands such as 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen), 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (teta and tetb), tris(benzimidazolylmethyl)amine (BIMA) and anionic tris(pyrazolylborate)s that mimic the enzyme, carbonic anhydrase. Several of these complexes have been reported for their interesting CO2 capture properties but they contain hazardous perchlorate ion. We desired to replace them with benign, non-coordinating counterions like PF6-, BF4-, Cl-, CH3COO-, NO3-, CF3SO3-, SiF62- that avoid the potentially explosive perchlorate salts. In order to test the activity of synthesized catalysts under industrial capture conditions, we designed a quick experimental screening pH drop method. [[Zn(cyclen)(H2O)][SiF6]•2H2O as well as a number of other catalysts have been synthesized and tested for their post-combustion CO2 capture enhancement capabilities in aqueous solvent mixtures under both pH-drop screening and stopped-flow conditions.
[Zn(cyclen)(H2O)][SiF6]•2H2O, which has an unreactive counteranion, is found to catalyze CO2 hydration in aqueous solvent mixtures under both pH-drop screening and stopped-flow conditions. However, under pH-drop which has conditions similar to industrial post combustion capture, activity of Zn(cyclen)(H2O)][SiF6]•2H2O drops as compared to observed in stopped-flow conditions probably because of bicarbonate coordination to Zn active site in these systems. The Zn center is highly electron deficient and therefore easily coordinates anions, inhibiting the ability to reform hydroxyl species on the metal. Thus, we decided to test the catalysis of benchmark enzyme carbonic anhydrase under similar conditions to determine the threshold value. Carbonic anhydrases catalyze the hydration of carbondioxide at ambient temperatures and physiological pH with the highest known rate constant= 106 M–1 s–1, but in our system (CAER pH drop screening) came out to be 438797 M–1 s–1. The lower catalytic rate constant for carbonic anhydrase in 0.1000 M K2CO3, similar to Zn-cyclen, strengthens the conjecture that at high bicarbonate concentrations, HCO3– binding to the Zn(II) active site slows catalysis by inhibiting bicarbonate displacement with water to regenerate the active species.
The complexes containing anionic ligands that donate electron density into the metal center may serve to remove anionic bicarbonates/carbamates from the secondary coordination sphere and away from the metal center, thereby facilitating bicarbonate/anion dissociation and increasing CO2 hydration rates. We studied catalysis of trispyrazolylborate molecule in 30% MEA and found the molecule to be catalytically active. We also developed an NMR-based method to see if the coordination of solvents to CO2 capture solvents can be studied.

ABSTRACT
SYNTHESIS OF FERROCENYL QUINONES AND POLYQUINANES
Eralp, Tugçe M.S., Department of Chemistry Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Metin Zora June 2005, 79 pages With the discovery of antitumor activity of ferrocene derivatives, research on new ferrocene derivatives have gained importance. For this purpose, we have investigated the synthesis of ferrocenyl quinones starting from squaric acid. Several quinone derivatives are known to have antitumor and antibiotic activities. In this research, by combining ferrocene and quinone moieties, we have targeted ferrocenyl quinones which are supposed to have enhanced potential antitumor activity. Thermolysis of ferrocenyl-substituted 4-alkynyl cyclobutenones, which have been prepared from ferrocenyl cyclobutenediones and alkynyllithiums, leads to the formation of ferrocenyl quinones and besides also cyclopentendiones are observed. Ferrocenyl cyclobutenediones have been prepared from known cyclobutenediones by nucleophilic addition of ferrocenyllithium followed by hydrolysis. A mechanism for the formation of ferrocenyl substituted quinones, involving first electrocyclic ring opening of alkynyl substituted cyclobutenone to ketene intermediate and then ring closure, has been proposed. Polyquinanes are widely found in nature and proved to have biological activity such as antibiotic activity. For the synthesis of ferrocenyl polyquinanes, starting from squaric acid, ferrocenyl substituted cyclobutenediones were prepared and reacted with alkenyllithium, and hydrolyzed to afford ferrocenyl substituted polyquinanes. A mechanism has been proposed that involves first the formation of cis- and trans-divinyl substituted cyclobutenes that produce cyclooctatriene-dienolate, upon hydrolysis of this dienolate, aldol-type transannular ring closure reaction takes place, producing polyquinanes.

Full textAbstract:
The work described in this thesis concerns development, synthesis and characterisation of new molecular compounds and materials based on the carbon allotropes fullerene (C60) and graphene. A stepwise strategy to a symmetric ferrocene-linked dumbbell of fulleropyrrolidines was developed. The versatility of this approach was demonstrated in the synthesis of a non-symmetric fulleropyrrolidine-ferrocene-tryptophan triad. A new tethered bis-aldehyde, capable of regiospecific bis-pyrrolidination of a C60-fullerene in predominantly trans fashion, was designed, synthesised and reacted with glycine and C60 to yield the desired N-unfunctionalised bis(pyrrolidine)fullerene. A catenane dimer composed of two bis(pyrrolidine)fullerenes was obtained as a minor co-product. From the synthesis of the N-methyl analogue, the catenane dimer could be separated from the monomeric main product and fully characterised by NMR spectroscopy. Working towards organometallic fullerene-based molecular wires, the N-unfunctionalised bis(pyrrolidine)fullerene was coupled to an activated carboxyferrocene-fullerene fragment by amide links to yield a ferrocene-linked fullerene trimer, as indicated by mass spectrometry from reactions carried out at small scale A small library of conjugated diarylacetylene linkers, to be coupled to C60 via metal-mediated hydroarylation, was developed. Selected linker precursors were prepared and characterised, and the hydroarylation has been adapted using simple arylboronic acids. Few-layer graphene was prepared and dip-deposited from suspension onto a piezoelectric polymer substrate. Spontaneous side-selective deposition was observed and, from the perspective of non-covalent interaction, rationalised as being driven by the inbuilt polarization of the polymer. Aiming for selectively edge-oxidized graphene, a number of graphitic materials were treated with a combination of ozone and hydrogen peroxide under sonication. This mild, metal-free procedure led to edge-oxidation and exfoliation with very simple isolation of clean materials indicated by microscopy, spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation describes the effective encapsulation of redox active compounds inside deep-cavity cavitands: Gibb's octaacid40 and Rebek's 41 tetracarboxylate cavitand. Gibb's octaacid is a water-soluble, deep-cavity cavitand that forms well-characterized dimeric molecular capsules around hydrophobic guests. Both 1H NMR spectroscopic and voltammetric experiments clearly reveal that ferrocene plays the role of hydrophobic guest effectively. Ferrocene derivatives (ferrocenylmethyltrimethylammonium (FcNMe3+), ferrocenemethanol (FcOH), and ferrocene carboxylic acid (FcCOOH)) were also found to form inclusion complexes with octaacid cavitand however, in this case 1:1 (host to guest) ratio complexes are formed. This is in strong contrast with the dimeric capsule formed around ferrocene. Under the surveyed experimental conditions encapsulated ferrocene is electrochemically silent. We have also found that the negative charges around this dimeric molecular capsule play a very important role. For instance, hydrophobic cations, such as viologens,60 bind to the outer surface of the capsule. This opened a possibility of mediated electron transfer reactions between molecules bound inside the octaacid capsule and tightly attached to its outer surface in purely synthetic system. The cationic ferrocene derivative, ferrocenylmethyltrimethylammonium (FcNMe3+), was used as a mediator since its electrochemical potential range makes it suitable as a mediator molecule. In fact, our data clearly support that FcNMe3+ mediates electron transfer between encapsulated ferrocene and the electrode surface. Ferrocene, its derivatives (FcNMe3+ and FcOH), and cobaltocenium (Cob+) also form 1:1 inclusion complexes with Rebek's tetracarboxylate cavitand, which surprisingly are all voltammetrically silent. The formation of these inclusion complexes seems to be driven by hydrophobic interactions between the host and the guest. The lack of voltammetric response observed in this work is a very intriguing finding.

Full textAbstract:
A variety of organometallic-fused heterocycles and acene quinones were prepared and characterized. This work was divided into three parts: first, the synthesis of 5,5-fused heterocyclic complexes of tricarbonylmanganese and (1’,2’,3’,4’,5’-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium; second, the synthesis of 1,2-diacylcyclopentadienyl p-cymene complexes of ruthenium(II); and third, synthesis of cyclopentadienyl-fused polyacenequinone complexes of ruthenium, iron and manganese.
The first examples of the convenient, versatile and symmetric cyclopentadienyl-fused heterocycle complexes of (1’,2’,3’,4’,5’-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(II) and tricarbonylmanganese(I) were synthesized starting from (1,2-dicarbophenoxycyclopentadienyl)sodium. The sodium salt was transmetalated using [MnBr(CO)5] and 1/4 [Ru(μ3-Cl)(Cp*)]4 to give [Mn(CO)3{η5-C5H3(CO2Ph)2-1,2}] and [Ru{η5-C5H3(CO2Ph)2-1,2}(Cp*)]. The diester complexes were saponified under basic conditions to obtain the corresponding dicarboxylic acids. The dicarboxylic acids were used to synthesize unique cyclopentadienylmetal complexes including diacyl chlorides, anhydrides, thioanhydrides and p-tolyl imides of ruthenium and manganese.
Similarly, a series of 1,2-diacylcyclopentadienyl-p-cymene cationic complexes of ruthenium were synthesized using thallium salt of 2-acyl-6-hydroxyfulvene and [Ru(η6-p-cymene)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 in a 2:1 ratio with an intension of converting them into heterocycle-fused cationic sandwich complexes. However, our attempts of ring closing on 1,4-diketons with sulfur or selenium were unsuccessful. A methodology involving the synthesis of metallocene-fused quinone complexes was employed starting from pentamethylruthenocene-1,2-dicarboxylic acids. The diacyl chloride was prepared in situ from the dicarboxylic acids and used for Friedel-Crafts acylation. We observed single-step room-temperature diacylation of aromatics, including benzene, o-xylene, toluene, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene and ferrocene with pentamethylruthenocene-1,2-diacyl chloride to obtain the corresponding quinone complexes. Similarly, we synthesized mononuclear and binuclear γ-quinones by aldol condensation of 1,2-diformylcyclopentadienylmetal complexes with cyclohexane-1,4-dione or 1,4-dihydroxyarenes.
The third methodology involves the Friedel-Crafts acylation of ferrocene with 2-carbomethoxyaroyl chlorides followed by saponification, carbonyl reduction, and ring closing by second Friedel-Crafts acylation to give Ferrocene-capped anthrone-like tricyclic and tetracyclic ketones. The oxidation of the ketones gave [3,4-c]-fused α-quinone complexes of iron. The oxidative and reductive coupling, enolization and C-alkylation of the anthrone complex were studied. Solvolysis of α-carbinol gave α-ferrocenylcarbenium salt, which underwent dimerization on treatment with non-nucleophilic base. We were successful to trap the in situ generated trimethylsilylenol ether of ferrocene-anthrone using dienophiles like N-phenylmaleimide or dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate under Diels-Alder conditions.

A series of conformationally constrained 2,6-bisferrocenylphenyl thioethers were synthesized via Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reactions. Structural information was obtained using X-ray crystallography and dynamic ¹H NMR spectroscopic studies, showing highly constrained m-terphenyl systems. Interaction of the ferrocene moieties through space mediated by the sulfur were studied by ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy and DFT computations. Electrochemical results show two, fully reversible 1e⁻ redox processes for the ferrocenes where the separation of peaks is affected by both solvent and supporting electrolyte, suggesting significant electrostatic interaction which is further confirmed in the gas phase by UPS studies. To determine if these interactions could be observed at greater distances, extended m-terphenyl complexes were shown in which 2-sulfur and 3-aromatic moieties were synthesized using a developed selective Suzuki-Miyaura monocoupling procedure in good yields. In these systems, interaction was not observed by electrochemistry or UPS. This suggests the distance between redox centers (~16 Å) is too great for electrostatic interaction, even though there is enhanced interactions observed in the truncated systems. Two new bisferrocenylphenylsulfoxides were also synthesized and studied to determine the effect of the polar sulfoxide bond on through space interaction between the ferrocene moieties. The electronic and redox properties of these compounds were studied by ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and DFT computations. Electrochemical results for 2,6-bis(ferrocenyl) thioanisole S-oxide show two, fully reversible one electron redox processes. The initial oxidation shows a 62 mV negative shift compared to the sulfide analog 2,6-bis(ferrocenyl)thioanisole, and an increased peak separation for the oxidations of 160 mV. No peak separation is observed in the extended sulfoxide system. No intervalence charge transfer band was observed in the truncated sulfoxide complex by monitoring the UV-Vis/NIR spectroscopy of the mixed valence complex, ruling out electronic communication. Thus, the through space electrostatic interactions of the sulfoxide causes the non-equivalent ferrocenes in the truncated system to have different oxidation potentials. Synthesis was developed towards the synthesis of 1,8-bisferrocenyl-9-(alkylthio) anthracene complexes. It was observed that due to steric congestion at the C9 position of the anthracene scaffold, standard thionation reactions did not proceed as expected. Instead, the reaction of 1,8-dibromo-9-anthrone with Lawesson reagent afforded the intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution cyclization product in quantitative yields. The reaction of the same anthrone under studied dithioketal formation conditions led to sulfur-rearrangement, giving the undesired 1,8-bisferrocenyl-10-(ethylthio)anthracene derivative, as confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Attempted Newman-Kwart rearrangement of 1, 8-dibromoanthracen-9-yl) dimethylcarbamothioate afforded no significant observed product formation, and decomposition of starting materials when heated for extended times. 1,8-bisferrocenyl-9-(methoxy)anthracene was synthesized and structurally characterized by dynamic X-ray crystallography to confirm connectivity. Electrochemical experiments show 2 reversible redox processes separated by 115 mV. Chemical oxidation experiments show unexpected, strong electronic coupling in the mixed valence complex. This coupling was characterized by near-IR absorption at 941 nm, indicating intervalence charge transfer (IVCT). Single electron reduction of 1,8-bisferrocenyl-9-(methoxy)anthracene, followed by quenching with various electrophiles afforded an inseparable mixture of products, one of which was identified by mass spectrometry as the desired 1,8-bisferrocenyl-9-(methylthio)anthracene product. However, this complex was not separable from the mixture and further characterization was not possible. All other routes attempted to incorporate sulfur into the system afforded no conversion of starting materials or decomposition of the reaction mixture.

Le développement d'architectures moléculaires enchevêtrées (rotaxanes) est un sujet d'actualité en chimie supramoléculaire. Cette thèse examine la synthèse multi-étape de sous-unités de rotaxanes, notamment de composants macrocycliques électroactifs, et leur assemblage dans des structures moléculaires imbriquées. De nouveaux cycles à 31 et 35 chaînons à liaison hydrogène comprenant un motif récepteur bis (2,6-diamidopyridine) et une unité électroactive, à savoir du ferrocène ou de la triphénylamine, ont été synthétisés. Ces macrocycles ont été analysés par voltampérométrie cyclique, analyse par diffraction des rayons X sur cristal unique, ainsi que par spectroscopie RMN et spectrométrie de masse. Les interactions hôte-invité avec un acide complémentaire 5,5’-diéthylbarbiturique (Barbital) en tant qu’invité modèle ont également été étudiées par titrage spectroscopique par absorption électronique et RMN 1H. Les affinités de liaison étaient corrélées à la structure moléculaire. Des approches pour former des [2]rotaxanes, notamment en utilisant une réaction de matrice métallique active, où l'ion métallique joue le double rôle de matrice et de catalyseur, sont décrites. En particulier, les réactions de couplage de Huisgen ainsi que de Glaser catalysées au cuivre(I) ont été utilisées avec des bouchons de volumes variés. Dans une deuxième approche complémentaire de type "attache" de la formation de rotaxane, l'anneau électroactif a été formé directement entourant le composant de filetage servant de modèle. Cette méthodologie a permis d'obtenir deux [2] rotaxanes inédits via une réaction de "clipping" à cinq composants assistée par matrice, l'un des rotaxanes intégrant deux unités de ferrocène, tandis que l'autre comprenait deux unités de type triphénylamine. Les études de diffraction des rayons X sur cristal unique ont confirmé le caractère imbriqué des assemblagesDevelopment of interlocked molecular ring-on-thread architectures (rotaxanes) represents a central current topic in supramolecular chemistry. This thesis considers the multi-step synthesis of rotaxane subcomponents, notably electroactive macrocyclic components, and their assembly into interlocked molecular structures. Novel hydrogen-bonding 31- and 35-member rings comprising a bis(2,6-diamidopyridine) receptor motif and an electroactive unit, namely ferrocene or triphenylamine, were synthesized. These macrocycles were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry, single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, as well as NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Host-guest interactions with a complementary 5,5’-diethylbarbituric acid (Barbital) as model guest were also studied by electronic absorption and 1H-NMR spectroscopic titrations. Binding affinities were correlated to molecular structure. Approaches to form 2rotaxanes, notably by employing an active metal template reaction, where the metal ion plays the dual role of template and catalyst, are described. In particular, the copper(I)-catalyzed Huisgen as well as Glaser coupling reactions were employed with a variety of bulky stopper groups. In a second complementary “clipping”-type approach to rotaxane formation, the electroactive ring was directly formed encircling the templating thread component. This methodology yielded two further novel [2]rotaxanes via a template-assisted five-component clipping reaction, one rotaxane integrating two ferrocene units while the other comprised two triphenylamine-like units. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the interlocked nature of the assemblies

Full textAbstract:
Pyrazoles have been focus of a large number of investigations in the design and
synthesis of novel biologically active agents that show remarkable medicinal
activities. Although pyrazoles have been studied for over a century as an important
class of heterocyclic compounds, they still continue to attract considerable attention
due to the wide range of medicinal activities they possess. Recent studies have
shown that combination of a ferrocenyl unit with structural features of pyrazoles can
lead to products with enhanced or/and unexpected biological activity since several
ferrocene derivatives have already been shown to be active against a number of
tumors. As a result, we have investigated the reaction of 3-ferrocenylpropynal with
hydrazinium salts. As anticipated, these reactions afforded two kinds of pyrazoles,
namely 1-alkyl/aryl-5-ferrocenylpyrazoles (1,5-isomer) and 1-alkyl/aryl-3-
ferrocenylpyrazoles (1,3-isomer). In most cases, 1,5-pyrazole isomers have resulted
from these reactions as the single or the major product of the reactions. The
structures of 1-benzyl-5-ferrocenylpyrazole, 1-phenyl-5-ferrocenyl-pyrazole and 1-
(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-3-ferrocenylpyrazole were identified by X-ray single crystal
analysis. The analogous reactions between 3-phenylpropynal and hydrazinium salts
were also studied, which afforded 1-alkyl/aryl-5-phenylpyrazoles (1,5-isomer) and/or
v
1-alkyl/aryl-3-phenylpyrazoles (1,3-isomer). The regioselectivity of the reactions is
mainly governed by the nature of the substituents in hydrazine derivative.

This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and study of novel anion templated rotaxanes and catenanes for electrochemical anion sensing, as well as interlocked structures that possess different anion binding properties, higher-order topologies and the ability to undergo molecular motion. Chapter One provides an introduction to anion recognition and the preparation of interlocked structures. A short summary of fundamental aspects of supramolecular chemistry is followed by detailed surveys of current approaches to anion binding and sensing, as well as the templated synthesis of rotaxanes and catenanes. Chapter Two describes the preparation of rotaxanes and catenanes appended with ferrocene to allow for electrochemical anion sensing. The anion recognition properties of a [2]rotaxane and a [2]catenane, as investigated by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and electrochemical methods, are presented. The utilization of a ferrocene-appended macrocycle in the construction of surface confined anion templated rotaxanes and catenanes is also discussed. Chapter Three reports the work carried out to achieve electrochemical anion sensing by the incorporation of redox-active groups into the integral structures of interlocked structures. The syntheses of a bis-stoppered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-pentaphenylferrocene [2]rotaxane and a ferrocene containing [3]rotaxane are presented, along with their subsequent anion recognition studies. In addition, attempts to incorporate ferrocene into the macrocyclic components of rotaxanes and catenanes are outlined. Chapter Four details further investigations into the use of interlocked structures to achieve anion recognition. Doubly-charged [2]catenanes able to bind anions in aqueous solvent media, as well as the incorporation of alternative anion binding motifs into interlocked architectures are reported. The exploitation of anion templated synthesis to allow for the construction of higher order structures (including [3]catenanes, a “handcuff” catenane and a Janus [2]rotaxane), as well as a [2]catenane system with anion controlled molecular motion is also described. Chapter Five presents the experimental procedures and characterization data relating to the compounds prepared in Chapters Two, Three and Four. Chapter Six summarizes the main conclusions of the work contained within this thesis. Supplementary experimental information relating to titration protocols, investigations into self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and crystallographic data are provided in Appendices I, II and III.

Proposed mechanism for the formation of cycloheptadienones involves metallacyclobutene formation, electrocyclic ring opening, electrocyclic ring closure, CO insertion, reductive elimination.

A convenient and new method for the synthesis of 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyrrole derivatives starting from 1,3,-dicarbonyl compounds through acid catalyzed cyclization reaction is described. Alkylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compound with propargyl bromide followed by one step cyclization with the introduction of primary amines in the presence of catalytic amount of triflouroacetic acid (TFA) affords the corresponding pyrrole derivatives in high yields.
The investigations on the studies of developing a new method for catalytic and stereoselective functionalisation of ferrocene derivatives were summarized. Functionalisation studies were carried out in three main strategy the first one of which is carboxylation, second one is arylation and the last one is oxidative cross-coupling with α

Incorporation of the essential structures of such compounds with a ferrocene moiety instead of an aryl group could provide subtances with enhanced antitumor activities since some ferrocene derivatives have already proved to be active against a number of tumors. Thus, we have investigated the squarate-based synthesis of 2-ferrocenylidene-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones. Upon thermolysis, 4-hydroxy-4-ferrocenylethynyl-2-cyclobutenones, prepared from 3-cyclobutene-1,2-diones and lithioethynylferrocene, produced exclusively 2-ferrocenylidene-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diones. In some cases, ferrocenyl quinone derivatives are obtained in very minor amounts. Moreover, the heating of a mixture of 4-ferrocenylethynyl-4-hydroxy-2-cyclobutenones and silica gel in oven at 120 oC without using any solvent provided the same type of products. More importantly, the stirring of a solution of 4-ferrocenylethynyl-4-hydroxy-2-cyclobutenone (37A-C) derivatives in ethyl acetate at the room temperature yielded the same type products, as well. It appears that 4-hydroxy-4-ferrocenylethynyl-2-cyclobutenones are more reactive than corresponding phenyl analogs. For the formation of ferrocenyl-substituted cyclopentenediones, a mechanism involving first electrocyclic ring opening of ferrocenylethynyl-substituted cyclobutenones to corresponding ketene intermediate and then ring closure, has been proposed. The exclusive formation of cyclopentenediones is attributed to the radical stabilizing ability of the ferrocenyl moiety during the course of the reaction.

Full textAbstract:
Pyrazoles constitute one of the most important classes of heterocyclic compounds due to their interesting chemical and biochemical features. Researchers have studied many pyrazole containing structures for almost over a century in order to investigate the various biological activities possessed by these molecules. A new and important trend in these studies is to produce ferrocenyl substituted pyrazoles since ferrocene attracts considerable interest in the research field of organometallic and bioorganometallic chemistry because of its valuable chemical characteristics like high stability, low toxicity and enhanced redox properties. Moreover, the results of the studies focusing on ferrocenyl compounds have been quite promising. Therefore, the scope of this project involves the combination of the essential structural features of pyrazoles with a ferrocene moiety, which could provide new derivatives with enhanced biological activities. In the course of the project the synthesis of new pyrazole derivatives was performed through Sonogashira and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of 5-ferrocenyl-4-iodo-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole with terminal alkynes and boronic acids respectively in the presence of a catalytic amount of PdCl2(PPh3)2. Although Sonogashira and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions are well known in literature, they were not studied in much detail with multi-substituted pyrazoles. This also revealed the requirement of the reinvestigation of the reactions and improvement of the yields of pyrazoles by optimizing the reaction conditions.

In this study, a bidentate ligand, 6-ferrocenyl-2,2'-bipyridine, was prepared by the reaction of lithiated ferrocene with bipyridine. The ligand was identified by 1H, 13C- NMR and HMQC and UV-Vis spectroscopies. Then, bidentate molecule was reacted with pentacarbonylbis-(trimethylsilylethyne)tungsten(0). The ligand substitution reaction in CH2Cl2 yielded the new complex, tetracarbonyl(6-ferrocenyl-2,2'

Le mode d’action des traitements médicaux fait généralement intervenir des interactions entre une (des) molécule(s) et une (des) cible(s) protéique(s) de l’organisme. Au sein de notre équipe, le choix s’est porté vers l’APN, protéine connue depuis les années 2000, pour être impliquée dans les processus d’angiogenèse i.e. la formation de nouveaux vaisseaux sanguins à partir de vaisseaux préexistants, et de migration cellulaire. Compte tenu de la pertinence thérapeutique des fonctions de l’APN et de leur validation lors d’études in vivo, la conception de voies de synthèse simples et efficaces menant à l’inhibiteur le plus puissant et sélectif de l’APN est devenu un des objectifs premier du laboratoire : 3 voies de synthèses sont décrites. Par ailleurs, notre laboratoire s’est intéressé à une nouvelle classe de composés comportant un groupement ferrocényle. En effet, les composés organométalliques suscitent un intérêt grandissant dans le développement de thérapies anticancéreuse ou encore les maladies tropicales. Ses possibilités réactionnelles étendues combinées à ses remarquables propriétés électrochimiques donnent lieu à des molécules nouvelles aux propriétés biologiques étonnantes. Ayant développé la molécule la plus puissante vis-à-vis de l’APN, ses impressionnantes propriétés inhibitrices peuvent être exaltées en créant des molécules à activité duale : inhibitrice de l’APN et cytotoxique vis-à-vis des cellules tumorales. La synthèse de ces composés hybrides ainsi que l’évaluation de leurs effets envers deux cibles, l’APN (porcine et d’Escherichia coli) et les cellules HT1080 (cellules de type fibrosarcome exprimant fortement l’APN), sont décrites dans cette thèseAPN/CD13, a zinc dependent metallo-peptidase ectoenzyme widespread in human tissues is emerging as a new target in cancer therapy. Indeed several studies indicate that APN/CD13 plays an active role in angiogenesis and tumor metastasis. We already prepared a series of (±)-1,4-disubstituted-7-amino-benzocyclohepten-6-ones and discovered the extraordinary inhibitory power of the 1-bromo-4-phenyl derivative (Ki = 60 pM) on mammalian APN/CD13. As recent crystallographic works in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institut have revealed that only the (S) enantiomer was efficiently binded to the enzyme active site, we recently developed a new synthetic pathway to prepare this optically pure molecule in benzo-oxepine series. In parallel we prepare analogs equipped with at least one ferrocenyl moiety of potential intrinsic additional cytotoxicity

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the synthesis of 5-ferrocenyl/aryl-4-(phenylselenyl)-1H-pyrazole derivatives was investigated since the integration of ferrocenyl and selenium moieties into pyrazole derivatives may increase their current biological activities. Initially, the starting propargyl aldehydes were synthesized from corresponding acetylenes. Subsequently, propargyl aldehydes were reacted with hydrazines to yield corresponding hydrazones. Then the in situ synthesized hydrazones were subjected to electrophilic cyclization with phenylselenyl chloride, which afforded 5-ferrocenyl/aryl-4-(phenylselenyl)-1H-pyrazoles in one-pot manner. Subsequently, reaction conditions were optimized in terms of electrophile, base, temperature and solvent. Best results were obtained with phenylselenyl chloride and NaHCO3 at room temperature in DCM for ferrocenyl substituted pyrazoles and DCE for aryl substituted pyrazoles. In summary, by employing the electrophilic cyclizations of in situ synthesized acetylenic hydrazones, a variety of 5-ferrocenyl/aryl-4-(phenylselenyl)-1H-pyrazole derivatives were synthesized in one-pot way in moderate to good yields.

Also with the finding that ferrocene derivatives are active against various tumours, considerable interest has been devoted to the synthesis of new ferrocene derivatives since properly functionalized ferrocene derivatives could be potential antitumour substances. So, the incorporation of the essential structural features of cyclopentenones with a ferrocene moiety could provide compounds with enhanced antitumour activities.

Synthesis of five-membered heteroaromatic compounds such as pyrazoles, isoxazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are important for pharmaceutical industry and material science due to their applications. Although there are many methods to prepare such compounds, new variants continue to appear since they exhibit a wide range of biological and medicinal activities.
In this thesis, new methods were developed for the synthesis of 4-iodopyrazoles, pyrazoles, isoxazoles, 1,2,4-oxadiazoles and/or 1,2,4-oxadiazepines. In the first part of the study, electrophilic cyclization of &alpha,&beta

Moreover, ferrocenyl-substituted 4-iodopyrazoles and pyrazole derivatives were synthesized from corresponding
