Application

Iron(III)chloride hexahydrate can be used as a catalyst for the:
  • Esterification of fatty acids and alcohols to synthesize fatty acid esters.
  • Regioselective arylations of α-amido sulfones with electron-rich arenes to synthesize unsymmetrical or bis-symmetrical triarylmethanes via Friedel-Crafts alkylation.
  • Synthesis of acyl azide derivatives by the acylation of sodium azide with N-acylbenzotriazoles.

Microtubule targeting agents (MTAs) have been reported to manifest their cytotoxic effects not only in mitosis but also in interphase. However, the relationship between phase-specific susceptibility and MTA concentration, especially with respect to microtubule integrity, remains poorly defined. In addition
