Synthesis and antioxidant properties of some novel 1,3,4,2-oxadiazaphosphepino[6,7-c]quinolinones and pyrazolo[3,4:4′,3′]quinolino[5,1-c][1,4,2]oxazaphosphinine

Synthesis, Structural Determination, and Antioxidant Activities of Acyclic and Substituted Heterocyclic Phosphonates Linearly Linked 4-hydroxy-2(1H)-quinolinone

The chemical reactivity of 3-[(E)-3-(dimethylamino)-2-propenoyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methy-2(1H)-quinolinone (1) towards some phosphorus reagents was studied. The enaminone 1 was cyclized into pyranoquinolinylphosphonate 2 via treatment with diethyl phosphite in basic medium. However, its reaction with triethoxy phosphonoacetate gave the substituted oxopyranylphosphonate 3. Using the same reaction conditions, both thioxopyridinylphosphonate 4 and oxopyranylphosphonate 5 were produced via a reaction of enaminone 1 with both diethyl 2-amino-2-thioxoethylphosphonate and diethyl vinylphosphonate, respectively, in low yields. In addition, the two novel oxopyridinylphosphonates 6 and 7 were obtained by treatment of enaminone 1 with a diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate reagent. Two oaxathiaphosphininyl derivatives, 8 and 9, were obtained by treatment of the enaminone 1 with O, O-diethyl dithiophosphoric acid under different reaction conditions. Diazaphosphininyl 11 and oxazaphosphininyl 12 derivatives were obtained in excellent yields using a P-phenylphosphonic diamide reagent under different reaction conditions. The treatment of the enaminone 1 with phosphorus pentasulfide produced the non-phosphorylated product thioxothiopyranoquinolinone 13. Finally, the enaminone was turned into oxathiaphosphininyl 14 using Lawesson’s reagent. The possible reaction mechanisms of the formation of these products were discussed. The structures of newly isolated products were established by elemental analysis and spectral tools. The compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant activities.
