A series of 6-aryloxy/arylthio/alkylamino dibenzo [d,f][l,3,2J-dioxaphosphepin 6-sulfides (4Ϊ were synthesized with a two step process with moderate yields starting from 2,2N-aihydroxybiphenyl (1) and thiophosphoryl chloride (2). Initially, the intermediate 6-cnloro dibenz<^d,fl[l,3,21-dioxaphosphepm 6-sulfide (3) was obtained which on subsequent reaction with substituted phenols/thiopnenols/ alkylamines in the presence of triethylamine at 50-55°C in dry toluene afforded members of 4. Their chemical structures were confirmed by elemental, IR and H, C, Ρ NMR spectral data analysis. The compounds were screened for antifungal activity against Curvularia lunata and Aspergillus nieer and for antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis ana Escherichia coli. Some of them possessed significant activity.Brought to you by | University of Arizona Authenticated Download Date | 5/30/15 5:59 AM
