Synthesis of Phosphonodithioate, Oxathiaphosphinin, Oxathiaphosphole, and Dithiaphosphole Derivatives from the Reaction of Lawesson's Reagent with Phenolic Mannich Bases and Oxime Derivatives

Abstract

The reaction of Lawesson's reagent 1a, with niclosamide 2 proceeded by thionation and formation of carbothioamide 3 and the zwitterionic oxathiaphosphinin 4a. LR reacted with 8-hydroxyquinoline (5), 2-methylquinoline-4-ol (7), and β-naphthol (9) to give the phosphonodithioates 6, 8, or 10. The reaction of LR with the Mannich bases 11 and 14 afforded the oxathiaphosphinins 13 and 15, whereas the phosphonodithioates 17 and 19 were isolated in the case of Mannich bases 16 and 18. LR reacted with phthalimide Mannich base 20 to give the dithione 21 and N-methylphthalimide (22). Reaction of ketone monoxime 23 with LR resulted in the formation of the oxathiaphosphole 24 and the dithiaphosphole 25, whereas the monoxime 26 afforded the thioxoethanone thioxime 27. Ketone dioximes 28 and 34 afforded the phosphonodithioates 29 and 36, respectively, when they were allowed to react with LR, whereas the dioxime 30 gave compounds 32 and 33. Moreover, the molluscicidal potency of the newly synthesized compounds against Biomphalaria glabrata snails was studied, too.
