The reactivity of squarylferrocenes was studied in the addition of several N-centered nucleophiles. A total of seven simple amines (primary and secondary) were added to both monosquarylferrocene and 1,1′-bissquarylferrocene to generate 14 ferrocenylsquaramides in 85-98%. Likewise, five aminoesters were added to the same scaffolds to produce a novel family of 10 ferrocene-aminoester conjugates in good to excellent yields (57-95%).
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.
