Reactions of N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane with a cyclic ketone in the presence of ferrocene carboxylic acid proceeded smoothly at room temperature and in neutral conditions to afford ferrocene-containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives in high yields. The reaction proceeded smoothly and cleanly under mild conditions and no side reactions were observed. The structures of the products were ded...

A three-component reaction between 1,2-phenylenediamine, ferrocenecarbaldehyde, and isocyanides in the presence of a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-amine derivatives containing a ferrocene unit is reported. This approach is an effective procedure because the products have a broad spectrum of biological and pharmacological activities such ...

We report a series of ionically modified ferrocene compounds for hybrid lithium-organic non-aqueous redox flow batteries, based on the ferrocene/ferrocenium redox couple as the active catholyte material. Tetraalkylammonium ionic moieties were incorporated into the ferrocene structure, in order to enhance the solubility of the otherwise relatively insoluble ferrocene. The effect of various count...

Reaction of 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carbaldehyde with hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.1 equiv) in the presence K2CO3 (1 gave (E)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carbaldehyde oxime (8) 58% yield. The compound was fully characterized and conformation supported by single crystal x-ray diffractometry.

The easy vinyl sulfone derivatization of ferrocene allows the preparation of some effective, versatile and valuable ferrocenylation reagents. The applicability of such compounds in conjugation and bioconjugation of amine and/or thiol containing molecules and biomolecules through Michael-type addition under mild conditions that preserve the biological function of the latter is described. The fea...

3,5,5-Trimethylhexanoyl (TMH)-ferrocene has been used to produce iron loading in whole animals and in cultured hepatocytes. Iron loading produced by TMH-ferrocene is highly efficient and, of the compounds used to produce iron loading in experimental systems, most closely mimics the loading patterns observed in the human disease hemochromatosis. Previous work with TMH-ferrocene has shown that TM...

New ferrocene substituted calix[4 and 5]arenes have been prepared and the crystal structure of a lower-rim substituted bis ferrocene calix[4]arene (7) has been elucidated. The respective ferrocene/ferrocenium redox-couples of compounds 6 (a calix[4]arene tetra ferrocene amide) and 8 (a calix[5]arene pentaferrocene amide) are shown to be significantly cathodically perturbed in the presence of an...

A conformational search of 5,12-dihydro-5,12-ethanonaphthacene-13-carbaldehyde predicted the presence of twelve conformations. The geometry of the twelve conformations established at the B3LYP/6-31G* level showed only six unique ones. Vibrational frequencies were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. The calculated vibrational frequencies enabled us to interpret the appearance of two bands corr...

The title compound, [U(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2)O(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)], exhibits a penta-gonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry around the U(VI) atom, involving two bidentate acetyl-acetonate ions and the pyridine ring of the pyridine-4-carbaldehyde oxime ligand. Hydrogen bonds exist between the OH group of the pyridine-4-carbaldehyde oxime ligand and the two O atoms of the acetyl-acetonate ions.

BACKGROUND Apoptotic propensity is currently viewed as an important parameter in drug-induced toxicity. But other cell death pathways exist e.g. micronucleation, intermitotic cell death, abnormal nuclear morphology and necrosis. This investigation explores the onset of apoptosis and abnormal morphology in response to 3 drugs i.e. Cisplatin, a novel Ferrocene (fctfa) and a novel Rhodium-Ferrocen...
