2-[5-(4-Amidinophenyl)-furan-2-yl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carboxamidine acetate salt (7) was synthesized from 2-[5-(4-cyanophenyl)-furan-2-yl]-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-6-carbonitrile (4a), through the bis-O-acetoxyamidoxime followed by hydrogenation in glacial acetic acid. Compound 4a was obtained in four steps starting with two successive brominations of 2-acetylfuran first with N-bromosuccinimide, and second with bromine
Fullerenyl boronic esters have been prepared by a ferric perchlorate-promoted reaction of [60]fullerene with various arylboronic acids. The obtained fullerenyl boronic esters could undergo further functionalization with diols to afford C(60)-fused dioxane/dioxepane derivatives. A possible reaction mechanism for the formation
