Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of Novel Pyrimidinyl Derivatives Containing an α-Amino Phosphonate Moiety

In order to find novel pyrimidinyl carboxylic acid analogs with high activity and low toxicity, a series of novel pyrimidinyl derivatives containing an α-amino phosphonate moiety 5 was synthesized by the condensation of 4-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yloxy)phenoxyacetic 3a or propionic acids 3b with dialkyl α-amino substitutedbenzyl phosphonates 4. Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic data (IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, MS) and elemental analyses. The results of preliminary herbicidal activities (in vitro) showed that most of these compounds exhibited higher herbicidal activities against dicotyledonous weeds (Brassica campestris L) than monocotyledonous weeds (Echinochloa crus-galli). Further bioassays (in vivo) indicated that some of compounds 5 possessed selective herbicidal activity against amaranth pigweed (A. retroflexus) in post-emergence treatment.

Design,Synthesis, and Antiviral Activity of α-Aminophosphonates Bearing a Benzothiophene Moiety

Abstract

A series of α-aminophosphonates containing a benzothiophene moiety was designed and synthesized. All synthesized compounds were confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ³¹P NMR, infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The half-leaf method was used to determine the in vivo efficacy of α-aminophosphonates bearing a benzothiophene moiety against the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Bioassay results showed that all compounds exhibited certain anti-TMV activity at 500 μg/mL concentration. Compound 2f exhibited a curative effect of up to 48.1% against TMV, which was almost similar to that obtained from the standard ningnanmycin (51.9%).

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Biodegradable Polyamides Containing α-amino Acid

The polyamides were obtained from 1,6-hexanediamine and diacylchloride which incorporated α -amino acid residues through interfacial polycondensation. High molecular weight (η_inh = 1.05–1.18 dL/g) polymers were produced with high yields. The structure of polyamides was verified by FT-IR and ¹H NMR spectra. They showed a remarkable ability to develop high crystallinity with melting temperatures in the range 117–191°C and was stable up to 350°C under nitrogen. Two methods such as alkali hydrolysis (10% NaOH w/v, 80°C) and enzymatic hydrolysis were employed for assessing the susceptibility of these polyamides to degradation. A preliminary investigation of the 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) release characteristics of these polyamides showed that the release rate increased with increasing water absorption of the polymers.
