Work reported in recent years from this laboratory has outlined the general features of poisoning in animals given diand trialkyl tin salts (Stoner, Barnes, and Duff, 1955). More detailed accounts of the cerebral oedema produced by triethyl tin in rats (Magee, Stoner, and Barnes, 1957) and the bile duct and liver lesions produced by dibutyl tin salts in rats and mice have also been prepared (Ma...

Synthesis and structural characterization of 1,4,2-oxazaphosphepines is described. The 1,4,2-oxazaphosphepines were obtained from reaction of chiral 1,3-benzoxazines with dichlorophenylphosphine or triethyl phosphite. The configuration of some of these compounds was stablished by X-ray analysis.

Protection afforded by trialkyl phosphorothionates against the lung injury caused by trialkyl phosphorothiolates probably results from the inhibition by the P = S moiety of the thionates, of one or more pulmonary cytochrome P-450 isozymes. The aromatic hydrocarbons p-xylene and pseudocumene also protect against this injury and inhibit some P-450 isozymes, but by a different mechanism. OOS-Trime...

A novel one-pot route for the synthesis of benzodiazepinyl phosphonates (BDPs) has been achieved. FeCl(3) efficiently catalyzed four-component condensation of diamines, acetone and phosphites in the presence of molecular sieves to furnish BDPs as novel chemical entities with good yield. The synthesized BDPs have shown significant protease inhibition activity against clostripain, a disease model...

A family of α-aryl-α-aminophosphonates and α-aryl-α-aminophosphine oxides was synthesized by the microwave-assisted solvent-free addition of dialkyl phosphites and diphenylphosphine oxide, respectively, to imines formed from benzaldehyde derivatives and primary amines. After optimization, the reactivity was mapped, and the fine mechanism was evaluated by DFT calculations. Two α-aminophosphonate...

A simple one-step synthesis was accomplished for the preparation of N-phosphoramidophosphonates by a direct reaction of phosphoramidate (1) with heterocyclic aldehydes (2a-j) and dialkyl phosphites at 60-70 degrees C in the presence of tetramethylguanidine. The tetramethylguanidine not only catalyses this reaction but also helps to form pure products in high yields in lesser time. They exhibite...

The phosphonate-phosphate rearrangement is an isomerisation of α-hydroxyphosphonates bearing electron-withdrawing substituents at the α-carbon atom. We studied the stereochemical course of this rearrangement with respect to phosphorus. A set of four diastereomeric α-hydroxyphosphonates was prepared by a Pudovik reaction from two diastereomeric cyclic phosphites. The hydroxyphosphonates were sep...
