A simple efficient and neat synthesis of α-hydroxy phosphonates has been accomplished from aromatic/ heterocyclic aldehydes and diethyl phosphite using KHSO4 as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions at ambient temperature. These compounds are characterized by spectral and analytical data and tested for their anti-oxidant activity.

Syntheses of a new series of biologically potent α-aminophosphonates were accomplished by one-pot Kabachnik-Fields reaction using TiO2-SiO2 as solid supported catalyst under microwave irradiation conditions. The chemical structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by analytical and spectral (IR, 1H, 13C, 31P NMR, and mass) data. Their anticancer nature was evaluated by screening the in vitro activity on two human cancer cell lines, HeLa and SK-BR-3. Compounds 4i and 4o showed the best activity on these cancer cells even though the majority of the compounds, and particularly 4l and 4p, have good cytotoxic activity against them.

Biologically portent/significant tetrahydrodipyrazolo[3,4‐b:4′,3′‐e]pyridines are synthesized by an efficient green synthesis of various aldehydes with 3‐methyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐5(4H)‐one in ammonium acetate using phospho sulfonic acid as a solid catalyst under microwave‐assisted interaction under solvent‐free conditions at 70°C. This methodology is easy to handle and get good to excellent yields. Later the potential in vitro antiproliferation of the titled compounds is evaluated. Among all the titled compounds, 4s and 4t showed the most potent anticancer potentiality on the used cancer cell lines of SK‐BR‐3 and HeLa (IC50 = 10.70 ± 0.27 and 12.58 ± 0.38, and 19.38 ± 0.32 and 21.55 ± 0.41 μg/mL for SK‐BR‐3 cells lines and HeLa cells lines, respectively), which were comparable to the positive control.
