A novel series of ferrocene tagged multi-functionalized 1,4-dihydropyrimidines is synthesized by base catalyzed cyclocondensation between ferrocenyl chalcones and amidines. The structures of synthesized compounds were established on the basis of H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, FTIR spectroscopy as well as by mass spectrometry. The compounds were evaluated for in vitro anticancer activity. The most active compounds from the series displayed GI(50) value equal to doxorubicin against the strain of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-435. (C) 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.

We report a greener, economical, highly convenient and regioselective synthesis of (2E)-2-[2,3,6-arylpyrimidin-4(3H)-ylidene)acetonitriles derivatives 3. This is achieved by a strategy involving ring transformation reaction of 4-(methylthio)-2-oxo-6-aryl-2H-pyran-3-carbonitrile 1 with N-arylbenzamidine or N-arylpicolinamidine 2 in the presence of KOH/DMF catalyst at room temperature. This approach provides a one-pot approach for the synthesis of symmetrical, unsymmetrical and heteroaryl pyrimidin-4(3H)-ylidene)acetonitriles derivatives 3.[GRAPHICS](C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
