Synthesis and characterization of new O,O-diethyl phosphorothioates derived from substituted tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolin- 4-ylmethanol derivatives

A simple and convenient method is developed for the synthesis of new O,O-diethyl O-(substituted tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolin-4-yl)methyl phosphorothioates, which has been synthesized for the first time from tetrazolo[1,5-a] quinolines via tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinolin-4-ylmethanol derivatives. The structures of the all newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by analytical and spectral methods. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
