a-Haloacetylferrocene and a-triazolylacetylferrocene have been prepared from acetylferrocene and they have proved to be useful building blocks for the synthesis of ferrocenyl propenone. Two new types of ferrocenyl vinyl triazole compound, (Z,E)-ferrocenyl-[1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-phenyl]-vinylones, have been synthesized and their structures characterized by crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It has been shown for the first time that ferrocene, as an organometallic compound, has been introduced into bioactive triazole compounds in search of potent bioactive substances. Their biological activities are also discussed.
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.
