Diverse Applications of β-enaminone Ligands and their Metal Complexes: A Review ‎Article

Abstract

As they include both nucleophilic and electrophilic moieties on the same skeleton, enaminones are an important subclass of chemical compounds that contain conjugated NC=C-C=O fragments. These active sites aid in the production of organic molecules containing linear or cyclic heteroatoms. Enaminones and the chemica1 compounds produced from them are both biologically active against the most dangerous bacteria. As a result, they have been utilized as starting materials for the synthesis of anti-inf1ammatory, antibacteria1, anticonvulsant, anticancer, anti-urease, anti-malaria1, optically luminescent, corrosion inhibition, and antitumor agents. Their synthesis has usually a terrific deal of interest and a plethora of synthetic paths have been narrated, including Lewis’s acids, P2O5/SiO2, Cu- nanoparticles, and heteropoly acid. Enaminone metal complexes have serval applications in industry and engineering. ‎The definition, significance, and diverse applications of β-enaminone 1igands and their ‎meta1 complexes are presented in this review study.
