Abstract

A new family of nitrogenous derivatives is synthesized, characterized and evaluated for the investigation of the impact of some structural motifs such as functionalization and conjugation on the antiproliferative activity of ferrocenic complexes against cancer cells. These compounds are 4,4′-([3]ferrocenophan-1-ylidenemethylene)dianilides and tetramethylated dianilines derived from Michler's ketone. An alternative McMurry direct heterocoupling method for 4,4′-([3]ferrocenophan-1-ylidenemethylene)dianiline synthesis is described and electrochemical studies are also discussed.
