Abstract A series of α-aminophosphonate derivatives containing aminophenol moiety have been synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities against two clinical strains Gram-positive and two Gram-negative applying Agar disc diffusion method, Minimal Inhibition Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) methods. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds
A distinct approach for high-yielding synthesis of α-amino phosphonates has been discovered through three-component reaction of nitro compounds, aldehydes, or ketones and dialkyl or trialkylphosphites using indium in dilute aqueous HCl at room temperature. This one-pot conversion consists of the following steps: (i) reduction of nitro compounds to amines, (ii) formation of imines from amines and carbonyl
