Abstract
Ferrocenyl based Betti base derivatives, 1-[aryl(4-(4-ferrocenylbutyl)piperazin-1-yl)methyl]naphthalen-2-ol, were synthesized through one-pot three-component reaction by treatment of 1-(4-ferrocenylbutyl)piperazine, naphthalene-2-ol and benzaldehyde derivatives in ethanol as solvent in the presence of triethanolamine as catalyst under reflux condition. 1-(4-ferrocenylbutyl)piperazine was prepared by treatment of 4-chlorobutylferrocene and piperazine. Various benzaldehydes were applied to the synthesis of some new ferrocenyl Betti bases and the new ferrocenyl compounds were obtained in rather good yields (59–75%). The electrochemical performance of these new ferrocenyl based Betti bases were investigated by cyclic voltammetry in dry acetonitrile in the presence of 0.1 M LiClO4 as the electrolyte. The electrochemical studies revealed that the synthesized compounds contain a single electron quasi-reversible redox couple assigned to the ferrocenyl moiety.
