Pyrazoles have been studied for over a century as an important class of heterocyclic compounds and continue to attract considerable interest due to the broad range of biological activities they possess. The incorporation of the essential structural features of pyrazoles with a ferrocene moiety could provide new derivatives with unexpected and/or enhanced biological activities since several ferrocene derivatives have already been shown to be active against a number of tumors. For this reason, we investigated the synthesis of ferrocenyl-substituted pyrazoles, such as 1-alkyl/aryl-5-ferrocenylpyrazoles, by employing the reaction between (2-formyl-1-chlorovinyl)ferrocene and hydrazine derivatives. Although this reaction is known, it was not studied in much detail and the low yields of ferrocenyl pyrazoles were obtained. Thus, we have reinvestigated this reaction and improved the yields of pyrazoles by optimizing the reaction conditions. (2-Formyl-1-chloro vinyl)ferrocene was first reacted with the excess amount (3 equivalents) of hydrazine derivative at 25 0C in dioxane under argon for 2 hours, and the resulting mixture was then heated at 100 0C for 6 hours in the same solvent. Under our optimized conditions, these reactions afforded 1-alkyl/aryl-5-ferrocenylpyrazole derivatives in moderate to good yields as a single or major product of the reaction. In some cases, 1-alkyl/aryl-3-ferrocenylpyrazole derivatives resulted from these reactions as very minor products.

Yazıcı, Ceyda; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2008)
Pyrazoles have been studied for over a century as an important class of heterocyclic compounds and continue to attract considerable interest due to the broad range of biological activities they possess. The electrophilic cyclization of the acetylenic hydrazones initiated by molecular iodine could provide new ways of synthesizing biologically active 4-iodopyrazole derivatives, which are important precursors for the synthesis of highly substituted pyrazole derivatives. For this reason, we investigated the syn...

Türkmenoğlu, Seçil; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006)
In this study, production of organic acids from cheese-whey was studied. Optimization of organic acids production was performed in semi-batch and batch reactors. Two sets of experiments were performed. First set of experiments were performed in semi-batch reactors for the optimization of organic loading rate (OLR) and hydraulic retention time (HRT). As a result of Set 1 experiments optimum OLR was found to be 15 g COD l-1. Second set of experiments were performed in batch reactors by using the optimum OLR f...
Synthesis of ferrocenyl cycloheptadienones
Açıkgöz, Canet; Zora, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2005)
Synthesis of seven-membered ring systems such as cycloheptadienones has attracted a great deal of attention in organic chemistry since they are present in a variety of biologically important molecules. Incorporation of the essential structures of such compounds with a ferrocene moiety instead of an aryl group could provide subtances with enhanced antitumor activities since some ferrocene derivatives have already proved to be active against a number of tumors. To develop a ferrocenyl-substituted seven-member...
Synthesis of bishomo-inositol derivatives
Bekarlar, Merve Gökçen; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2011)
Inositols belong to an important class of biologically active compounds, named as cyclitols (cyclic polyols), which have attributed high interest in the past decade due to the glycosidase inhbition property that affects many biological processes. Initially, 1,3,3a,7a-tetrahydro-2-benzofuran (69) was synthesized as a key compound to synthesize bishomo-inositol derivatives. Then photooxygenation and manganese(III) acetate oxidation reactions of this key compound were studied in order to obtain isomeric inosit...
