Montmorillonite K10 Clay Catalyzed Synthesis of Novel ß-Aminocarbonyl Compounds and Their Biological Evaluation.

An efficient and reusable green catalyst for the synthesis of ß-aminocarbonyl compounds has been developed. In this new and greener approach, ß-aminocarbonyl compounds (1a-1r) were obtained by Montmorillonite K10 clay catalyzed reaction of aryl amines, aliphatic/aromatic aldehydes and ß-ketoesters. Molecular docking investigations were performed for all compounds (1a-1r) with the proteins PDB ID: 1JIJ and 1KZN for S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. For all compounds good to strong interactions with the active sites were observed. The biological activities of ß-aminocarbonyl compounds were further assessed for their antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The results confirmed that ß-aminocarbonyl compounds could be further developed into new drugs with potent antibacterial and antioxidant activities.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of novel phosphorus heterocycles with exocyclic p-C link.

Several new class of phosphorus heterocyclic compounds containing exocyclic P-C link such as 6-(2'-chloroethyl)/(allyl)/(benzyl)-1,2,4,8,10,11-hexachloro-12H-dibenzo[d,g][1,3,2]dioxaphosphocin 6-oxides (5-7), 2-(2"-chloroethyl)/(allyl)-6-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihdro-2H-1,3,2-benzoxazaphosphorin 2-oxides (9, 10), 2-(2"-chloroethyl-2,3-dihydro-3-(4'-bromophenyl)-1H-naphth[1,2-e][1,3,2]-oxazaphosphorin 2-oxide (12), 2-(2"-chloroethyl)/(allyl)-2,3-dihydro-5-benzoyl-1H-1,3,2-benzodiazaphosphole 2-oxides (14, 15), 4-phenyl-2-(2"-chloroethyl)-1H-1,3,3a,5,6-pentaza-2-phosphapentalene 2-oxide (17) and 4-benzyl-2-(2"-chloroethyl)-1H-1,3,3a,5,6-pentaza-2-phospha-pentalene 2-oxide (19) were synthesized by reacting equimolar quantities of corresponding diol (4)/diamines (13, 16, 18), 2-cyclohexylaminomethyl-4-t-butylphenol (8) and 1-(4'-bromoanilinomethyl)-2-naphthol (11), with respective phosponyl dichlorides (1-3) in dry toluene/toluene-tetrahydro-furan/pyridine in the presence of triethylamine at various temperatures. Their structures were established by IR, (1)H-, (13)C- and (31)P-NMR spectral data. The mass spectral data were given for compounds 9, 12 and 15. The title compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and antifungal activity on Aspergillus niger and Helminthosporium oryzae. Most of the compounds possess significant activity.
