Synthesis, structure and cytotoxicity of new 2-[(3-aminopropyl)dimethylsilyl]-5-furfural diethylacetals and 2-[(3-aminopropyl)dimethylsilyl]-5-phenylfurans
Novel 2‐[(3‐aminopropyl)dimethylsilyl]‐5‐furfural diethylacetals and 2‐[(3‐aminopropyl)di‐methylsilyl]‐5‐phenylfurans have been synthesized by a hydrosilylation reaction of aliphatic and heterocyclic N‐allylamines in the presence of the Speier's catalyst. The effects of the structure of the amine and nature of organic substituent at the furan ring on the cytotoxicity of the new compounds have been
