Synthesis and structure of novel ferrocene-containing β-carbolines including polycondensed derivatives with the elements of planar-, central- and conformational chirality
Abstract:-Employing tryptamine or tryptophane methylester hydrochloride and (S p )-2-formylferrocene-1-carboxylate as precursors by means of Pictet-Spengler reactions and subsequent intramolecular acylation effected by cyanuricfluoride or carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), the first representatives of ferrocene-containing -carboline derivatives including polycyclic ferroceno/fused lactames, were prepared. In the course of CDI-mediated tandem cyclization of a tryptophane-derived carboxyferrocenyl-substituted -carboline, a rin… Show more
Novel ferrocene conjugates of tricyclic quinazoline derivatives are prepared by condensation of active C‐6 methylene groups of mackinazolinones with ferrocenecarbaldehyde. Following this route the conjugated parent alkaloid as well as derivatives with nitro, amino, and alkanoylamino groups at C‐2 were attached at the ferrocene moiety, thereby significantly extending the delocalized π system. In addition, the parent compound was subjected to the reaction with ferrocene‐1,1'‐dicarbaldehyde, giving rise to the symmetrical and unsymmetrical double condensation products – 1,1'‐disubstituted ferrocene derivatives, which bear two alkaloid substituents. Some of the compounds obtained were subjected to X‐ray crystallographic analyses. The influence of the substituents at C‐2 through the extended conjugated π system on the iron atom is reflected by results of cyclovoltammetric measurements.
