Abstract
We report the synthesis of 1'-heteroaryl-2,5-dimethylazaferrocenes (heteroaryl = 2-bromothiophen-5-yl and 2-bromopyrid-6-yl) via palladium catalysed cross-coupling reactions along with their crystallographically determined structures. The newly synthesized compounds as well as the parent 2,5-dimethylazaferrocene have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and were found to exhibit ...
Abstract
We report the synthesis of 1'-heteroaryl-2,5-dimethylazaferrocenes (heteroaryl = 2-bromothiophen-5-yl and 2-bromopyrid-6-yl) via palladium catalysed cross-coupling reactions along with their crystallographically determined structures. The newly synthesized compounds as well as the parent 2,5-dimethylazaferrocene have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and were found to exhibit reversible first oxidations followed by an irreversible oxidation at considerably higher potential.
