A series of novel -aminophosphonates containing pyrazole and fluorine moieties was designed and synthesized through ultrasonic-assisted condensation and solvent-free addition reactions. Their structures were verified by IR, 1H NMR, 13 C NMR and elemental analysis. The crystal structure of diethyl[(4-cyano-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)(3,5-difluorophenyl)methyl]phosphonate(4a, C15H17F2N4O3P) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 4a crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 8.381(3), b = 10.103(5), c = 11.268(3) , = 83.772(19), = 74.726(19), = 70.964(18), V = 869.9(6) 3, Mr = 370.30, Dc = 1.414 g/cm3, Z = 2, F(000) = 384, = 0.200 mm-1, Mo Ka radiation( = 0.71073 ), the final R = 0.0487 and w R = 0.0823 for 1582 observed reflections with I 2(I). X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that there are two planes in 4a, and the dihedral angle is 71.51. Two intermolecular hydrogen bonds and a face-to-face ··· stacking interaction are observed in the crystal structure. The compounds were evaluated for their antifungal, antiviral and antitumor activities, respectively. Among them, 4b, 4c, 4g and 4h exhibit good activities on Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc at 200 μg/m L, while 4b, 4c, 4f and 4g possess good anti-TMV activities at 500 μg/m L.

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.
