Abstract

Aryloxy-6-bromo-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-benzo(e)(1,3,2)oxazaphosphinine 2-oxides 3 have been synthesized by the reaction of 4-bromo-2-((4-chlorophenylamino)methyl)phenol (1) with various aryl phosphorodichloridates 2a-i in the presence of triethylamine in dry toluene- tetrahydrofuran at 45-50 °C. Products 3 were characterized by IR, 1 H, 13 C, and 31 P NMR spectra, and their antibacterial activity was evaluated.

Highlights

  • Organophosphorus compounds being ubiquitous in nature have found multifaceted applications. 1,3,2-Oxazaphosphinine derivatives, cyclophosphamide and its analogues, isophosphamides are clinically useful anticancer drugs;1–2 organophosphorus esters are used as pesticides3 and insecticides.4a–b In view of this, a series of 2-aryloxy-6-bromo-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,3,2]oxazaphosphinine 2-oxides 3 has been synthesized

  • The compounds were assayed for antibacterial activity against six registered bacterial isolates, which were obtained from the NCIM (National Collection of Industrial Microorganisms, National Chemical Laboratories, Pune-411 003, India): Two Gram positive bacterial isolates, Staphylococcus aureus (NCIM No 5021, ATCC No 25923), Bacillus subtilis (NCIM No 2063, ATCC No 6633) and four Gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli (NCIM No: 2931, ATCC No 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCIM No 5029, ATCC No 27853), Salmonella typhimurium (NCIM No 2501, ATCC No, 23564) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (NCIM No 2957)

  • The reactions were performed in dry toluenetetrahydrofuran in the presence of triethylamine, because all reactants are readily soluble in this solvent at room temperature, and products 3 do not decompose at the reaction temperature of 4550 °C

Summary

Introduction

Organophosphorus compounds being ubiquitous in nature have found multifaceted applications. 1,3,2-Oxazaphosphinine derivatives, cyclophosphamide and its analogues, isophosphamides are clinically useful anticancer drugs;1–2 organophosphorus esters are used as pesticides3 and insecticides.4a–b In view of this, a series of 2-aryloxy-6-bromo-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydrobenzo[e][1,3,2]oxazaphosphinine 2-oxides 3 has been synthesized. The synthetic route involves preparation of 4-bromo-2-[(4-chlorophenylamino)methyl]phenol (1) (by condensation of 4-chloroaniline, 4-bromophenol and aqueous formaldehyde10) followed by the cyclocondensation of 1 with aryl phosphorodichloridates5 2a-i in the presence of triethylamine in toluene-tetrahydrofuran at 45–50 °C (Scheme 1). Product structures 3 were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectra (Tables 1 and 2).
