Two novel metal phosphonates, Al(5)F(C(4)H(9)PO(3))(6)(OH)(2)(C(4)N(2)H(6))(2) and Ga(4)F(2)(C(4)H(9)PO(3))(8)H(5).(C(7)N(2)H(11)) have been prepared using an ionothermal approach and their structures solved using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In , the breakdown of the ionic liquid solvent has occurred and a fragment of the cation coordinates to the aluminium in the structure. In , the ioni...

Phosphonylated azaheterocycles are an important class of compounds with high biological potential as conformationally restricted bioisosteres of amino acids. Therefore, it is of interest to synthesize conformationally constrained amino phosphonates. We wanted to investigate possible routes via ring opening of alpha-amino phosphonates with an oxanorbornene skeleton, as these can be synthesized w...

the synthesis of 5' - deoxynucleoside 5' - phosphonates which contains a 5' - cp bond in place of the 5' -cop bond of the naturally occuring nucleotides is described. the preparation of phosphonate derivatives of acyclo - nucleosides and a simple method for the conversion of 1-? -d-ribofuranosyl pyrimidines to the corresponding 1-? -d-arabinofuranosyl pyrimidines are also ex...

A set of small nonpeptidic diaryl phosphonate inhibitors was prepared. The phosphonate derivatives were synthesized through Birum-Oleksyszyn reaction followed by reduction of the nitro-group which undergo to Boc-protected guanidine derivatives. After removing of Boc-group by TFAA/DCM afford the guanidine phosphonates.

Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed C-H olefination of aryl phosphonic esters is reported for the first time. In this mild and efficient process, the phosphonic ester group is utilized successfully as a new directing group. In addition, mono-olefination for aryl phosphonates is observed using a phosphonic diamide directing group.

The structure of one of the first permanently porous metal phosphonates, MIL-91(Al) was re-determined using high resolution synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data. The new model is in a lower symmetry space group, with no disordered ligands in the structure, whilst remaining otherwise consistent with the reported compound. New milder synthetic conditions were also developed.

A highly practical, catalytic enantioselective cyclic phosphite addition to aldehydes and ketones was developed. The reaction rate of the asymmetric hydrophosphonylation was significantly enhanced by the addition of silver carbonate. Particularly, significant improvement has been achieved on the asymmetric hydrophosphonylation of unactivated ketones, giving quaternary α-hydroxy phosphonates wit...

A novel Ni-PyBisulidine complex has been developed for the asymmetric hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes. A variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic, condensed-ring, α,β-unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes are found to be suitable substrates for the reaction, and the desired α-hydroxy phosphonates are obtained in up to 99% yield and 97% ee.
