New Substituted 2-Aminomethyl-2-oxo-2λ5-perhydro-[1,3,2]oxazaphospholo [3,4-a]pyridine: Design, Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity

AbstractThe synthesis of a new series of novel P-heterocyclic compounds, substituted 2-aminomethyl-2-oxo-2λ5-perhydro-[1,3,2]oxazaphospholo[3,4-a]pyridine derivatives, 8(a-j) was accomplished. A key intermediate, 1-(chloromethyl)-2-oxo-2λ5-perhydro-[1,3,2]oxazaphospholo[3,4-a]pyridine (6) was primarily synthesized by the condensation of (±)-2-piperidinemethanol (4) and chloromethylphosphonic dichloride (5); subsequently, it was treated with various heterocyclic amines/benzylamines/aminoacid esters, 7(a-j) to obtain the desired products. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by 1H, 13C and 31P NMR spectroscopy, mass spectra and elemental analyses. The biological potency of title products was investigated by screening in vitro antimicrobial activity. The bio-screening data revealed that most of the synthesized derivatives showed potent growth of inhibition against fungi while compared with bacteria. Particularly, compounds 8c and 8i against bacterial strains, and 8a and 8f agains...
