strategy, we designed ferrocenyl analogs of monastrol – the first low molecular weight kinesinspindleprotein (KSP) inhibitor. The obtained compounds showed low micromolar antiproliferative activity towards a panel of sensitive and ABC-overexpressing cancer cells. Most cytotoxic compounds exhibited also higher KSP modulatory activity and ability for ROS generation compared to monastrol. The increased
Indium(III) halides (chloride and bromide) catalyse the three-component Biginelli coupling of ferrocenyl-1,3-diketones, aldehydes and urea (or thiourea) to give 5-ferrocenoyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidinones. 4-Ferrocenyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidinones were obtained from alkyl-acetoacetates, formylferrocene and urea. The tricyclic compound, 13-ferrocenecarbonyl-9-methyl-11-oxo-8-oxa-10,12-diazatricyclo [7.3.1.0(2.7)] trideca-2,4-6-triene, was synthesized from 1-ferrocenyl-1,3-butanedione, salicilaldehyde and urea.

A series of novel ferrocene-containing-dihydropyrimidines (DHPs) were prepared by three-component Biginelli reactions of formylferrocene, 1,3-dioxo-components and thiourea catalyzed by boric acid and ytterbium triflate, respectively. When cyclic-1,3-diones were employed as dioxo component in the reactions promoted by boric acid, besides one expected 4-ferrocenyl-2-thioxoquinazoline, 9-ferrocenyl-2H-xanthene-1,8-dione and 9-ferrocenylcyclopenta[b]chromen-8-ones could also be isolated as products. By means of control reactions and B3LYP/6-31 G(d) modelling the formation of the chromenone was interpreted by hetero-DielseAlder addition involving the Knoevenagel intermediate and the cyclopentadiene resulted in situ from acid-catalyzed decomposition of formylferrocene. The enhanced tendency of the acyclic dioxo components to undergo Biginelli reaction avoiding cycloaddition was reasoned by the formation of Knoevenagel intermediates capable of chelating proton or Lewis acids. The structures of the new compounds were established by IR and NMR spectroscopy, including HMQC, HMBC, DEPT and DNOE measurements. Some structural characteristics were disclosed by B3LYP/6-31 G (d) method. (C) 2010 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
