The title complex, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C18H20O)], formed by dehydration of 1-ferrocenylbut-3-en-1-ol, crystallizes as a racemic compound. The central C-O-C fragment, in which the C atoms are the chiral centers, is characterized by an angle of 116.26 (10)° at the O atom. One ferrocene group shows a staggered conformation whereas the other shows an eclipsed conformation.

OBJECTIVES Metals such as iron are needed for physiological functions of the body. However, their excess may cause serious damage including poisoning. The effects of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions on human plasma cholinesterase activity were investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Plasma were obtained (n = 24) from healthy male volunteers, and treated with five various concentrations of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions. Ac...

In the mononuclear title complex, [CoBr(2)(C(5)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Co(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two monodentate 3,5-dimethyl-pyrazole ligands and two Br atoms in a highly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds into chains along [101]. An intra-molecular N-H⋯Br hydrogen bond is also present.

The aim of this review is to provide an overview of diverse pharmacological activities of pyrazole moiety. This review highlighted recent reports of antimicrobial, anticancer, ACE inhibitory, antiviral as well as antiinflammatory activities of pyrazole. The purpose of this review was to collate literature work reported by researchers on pyrazole for their varoius pharmacological activities and ...

Densely functionalized 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(3-hydroxy-4-etoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamide was  synthesized in an expedient manner through specification and transamidation  respectively, of ester-functionalized pyrazoles. This synthetic protocol allowed for three diversifying steps in which appendages on the pyrazole scaffold were adjusted to optimize inhibition of protein kina...

A bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) complex with metal-centered chirality catalyzes the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones with high enantioselectivities at low catalyst loadings down to 0.002 mol%. Importantly, the rate of catalysis and enantioselectivity are markedly improved in the presence of a pyrazole co-ligand. The reaction is proposed to proceed via an iridium-hydride inte...

A highly efficient catalytic kinetic resolution of 2,3-epoxy 3-aryl ketones via asymmetric ring-opening with pyrazole derivatives has been achieved by using a chiral N,N'-dioxide-Sc(III) complex as the catalyst. A wide variety of substrates were readily scoped, and the selectivity factors obtained were excellent (up to >300).

In this paper, we demonstrate a new promising resonance Raman (RR)-based method for the determination of Fe3+ concentrations in aqueous solutions. Iron ions were quantified at a low concentration range by employing hydroxylamine hydrochloride as the reductant, and phenanthroline as the complexing agent, thereby reducing Fe3+ to Fe2+. The addition of Fe3+ to the detection reagent resulted in a r...
