Heteroleptic and homoleptic dithiolene metal complexes such as Cp2Ti(dithiolene), [Zn(dithiolene)2]2− and [Au(dithiolene)2]−1 complexes have been synthesized from the 1-tertiobutyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate (tBu-thiazdt) dithiolene ligand. The reactivity of these complexes towards iodomethane (MeI) has been examined. Both the titanocene and the gold complexes undergo a transformation of
Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines are disclosed. Compounds of the invention are useful therapeutic agents and their inclusion in pharmaceutical formulations and use in methods of treatment are disclosed.
Reaction of RI with N-tert-butyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione derivatives allows the formation of 2-alkylthio-thiazoledithiolate pro-ligands, precursors of AuIII dithiolene complexes, [Au(RS-tzdt)2]−1,0.
