Synthesis and antimalarial activity in vitro of new ruthenocene–chloroquine analogues
Abstract
The syntheses of the new compounds (7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)(2-dimethylaminomethylruthenocen-1-ylmethyl)amine 3 and N-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)-N′-(2-dimethylaminomethylruthenocen-1-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine 5 are reported. The reactions are compared to those previously reported for the preparation of the
