The research focuses on the chemical reactions of 3-alkenyl-5-ferrocenyl-2-pyrazolines with azodicarboxylic acid N-phenylimide. The study explores the [4+2]-cycloaddition mechanism to form Diels-Alder adducts and the monoene addition products when allylic hydrogen atoms are present. The reactants include 1-acetyl-3-(2-ferrocenylethenyl)-5-ferrocenyl-2-pyrazoline and azodicarboxylic acid N-phenylimide, with the synthesis of pyrazolines derived from ferrocenecarbaldehyde and acetone or 1-acetylcyclohexene. The analysis of the products involved elemental analysis, melting point determination, and NMR spectroscopy, including both proton (1H) and carbon (13C) NMR spectra, to establish the structures and confirm the presence of specific functional groups and the configuration of the molecules. The study aims to understand the chemical and pharmacological properties of these organic compounds, which are expected to exhibit enhanced biological activity and reduced toxicity due to the presence of ferrocene substituents.
