Ferrocenyl dioxolane

The characterization and crystal structure of bis(ferrocenyl)dioxolane 17, produced by the reaction of ferrocenecarbaldehyde and the 4,5-dimethyl-l,3,2-dioxaphosphole 16 (13JOM(739)40), and the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro antineoplastic activity evaluation of the diastereomeric ferrocene acetals 18 and 19 (13S1853) have been reported. Accounts on the synthesis and evaluation for anti-HIV-1 activity of a series of dioxolane pyrimidine nucleosides 20-22 (13T10884) and the synthesis of the natural product trichodermatide A 23 (13AGE3646) have been published. The crystal structure of asarinin 24, which was isolated from the shrub Zanthoxylum datum, has been reported (13AXCo87).
