Abstract

(S, S)-1-hydroxy-1-oxo-2-c,5-t-diphenylphospholane or Fiaud's acid is used as a novel and effective chiral organocatalyst for bis α-aminophosphonates synthesis with excellent diastereoselectivity and yields within short reaction time. All synthesized bis α-aminophosphonates revealed a good to excellent antifungal capacity, where the six compounds 4a, 4b, 4e, 4h, 4k and 4l are the best fungicide inhibiting the growth of Fusarium oxysporumandBotrytis cinereaby 65% to 84% with IC50 values <0.02 mg/mL. Similarly, these six products exhibited a strong antioxidant effect, whereas a low inhibition activity was obtained with both AChE and BChE. Furthermore, they displayed a very weak inhibitory activity against tyrosinase except for the compound4l.These findings suggest a possible use of these compounds as synthetic pesticides with less hazardous effects with antioxidant, and anti-tyrosinase properties.

Keywords: Bis α-aminophosphonates; Chiral organocatalyst; Cholinesterase; Fiaud’s acid; Tyrosinase.
