Quinolines 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 quinolines 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 quinolines, such as 2-ferrocenylquinoline, by employing the molecular iodine catalyzed reaction between enolizable aldehydes and ferrocenyl imines, which were prepared by the condensation reactions of ferrocenecarboxaldehyde with aniline derivatives. As anticipated, these reactions produced 2-ferrocenylquinoline derivatives. By employing this ethodology, we synthesized 2-ferrocenylquinoline, 6-chloro-2-ferrocenylquinoline, 6-bromo-2-ferrocenyl-quinoline, 2-ferrocenyl-7-methylquinoline and 2-ferrocenyl-3,7-dimethylquinoline. Due to the ready availability of ferrocenylimines and aldehydes, this practical onepot method represents a versatile synthesis of ferrocenyl-substituted quinolines.

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...
Addition of carbonyl compounds to the cyclic olefins : synthesis of cyclitols
Altun, Yasemin; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2008)
Cyclitols have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years owing to biological activities exhibited by them and also their usefulness in the synthesis of other natural products and pharmaceuticals. Carbasugars are also a derivative of cyclitols and they are cyclic monosaccharide analogues which posses CH2OH group in their structure. In this study, novel synthetic strategies leading to cyclitol derivatives were investigated and the synthesis of tetraol (72) and pentaol (73) derivatives containing CH2...
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...
