Abstract
Tris[2-(3′-cyanopropoxy)phenyl]phosphine oxide has been obtained via the alkylation of tris(2hydroxyphenyl)phosphine oxide with 4-bromobutyronitrile in the presence of K2CO3. The product structure has been elucidated by means of X-ray diffraction analysis. The terminal cyano groups in the obtained phosphine oxide have been converted into tetrazole rings via the click-reaction with NH4N3 to give a new hybrid tripodal propeller ligand, tris{2-[3′-(tetrazol-5′′-yl)propoxy]phenyl}phosphine oxide. Palladium(II) complexes of the prepared ligand and its short-linker analog, tris[2-(tetrazol-5′-ylmethoxy)phenyl]phosphine oxide, have been synthesized. Cytotoxicity of the ligands and their Pd(II) complexes has been studied.
