A series of novel 4-aryl-2-ferrocenyl-and 2-aryl-4-ferrocenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepines 3a-f and 6a-e was obtained by the condensation of 1-aryl-3-ferrocenyl-and 3-aryl-1-ferrocenyl-2-propenones 1a-f and 4a-e, respectively, with o-aminothiophenol in the presence of AcOH and HCl (~64-91%). Their structures were established based on the spectroscopic data and X-ray diffraction analysis of the compounds 3d, 5a, and 6c.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
