Abstract

α-Hydroxyphosphonates 2a-g derived from 2-chloroquinolin-3-carbaldehyde 1a-g by modified Abramov reaction using chloro(trimethyl)silane (TMSCl) and subsequent α-hydroxyphosphonate produced were acetylated using acetic anhydride in the presence of 1,8-Diazabicyclo-undec-7- ene (DBU) to afford the α-acetyloxyphosphonate 3a-g in high yields. The synthesized α- hydroxyphosphonate and α-acetyloxyphosphonate compounds were screened for antibacterial activities. The compound no. 2d, 2e and 3e, 3f has shown comparative activity against their standard Streptomycin.

Highlights

  • Quinolines[1,2,3] are an important class of heterocyclic compounds

  • We have studied combination of highly bioactive quinoline compounds with phosphonate for antibacterial activities so as to find new antibacterial bioactive compounds and enrich the quinoline and phosphorus chemistry

  • The original work of Abramov reaction involved the heating of an aldehyde or a ketone with trialkylphosphite at 70-1000C for several hours in sealed tube[26]

Summary

Introduction

Quinolines[1,2,3] are an important class of heterocyclic compounds. Several compounds of this class have been screened for biological activities such as bactericidal,[4] antitumor,[5] anti-inflammatory,[6] antimalerial[7] etc. Α-acetyloxyphosphonates are considered as an important and valuable phosphorus compounds for the synthesis of optically active α-hydroxyphosphonates. A search for new biological active compound has stimulated recent studies on the synthesis of α-substituted phosphonates.
