A new series of ferrocenyl sugar-triazole conjugates, derived from D-xylose, D-ribose and D-galactose, linked by a 2,4thiazolidinedione moiety, has been prepared. Facile 1,3-dipolar-Huisgen coupling reactions of the respective sugar azides with the ferrocenyl 2,4-thiazolidinedione alkyne units give the corresponding conjugates. These conjugates have been characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, including UV/Vis [a]
Synthesis and CharacterizationThe compound 2,4-thiazolidinedione was prepared by a literature method [26] and was condensed with ferrocene-carboxaldehyde 1, under Knoevenagel conditions, to form compound 2, Scheme 1.
