ABSTRACT

A new green and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates through one-pot three-component Kabachnik–Fields reaction. It involves the reaction of a 2-aminophenol with different substituted aromatic aldehydes and dimethyl phosphite in the presence of nanocopper oxide–gold (CuO–Au) catalyst under solvent-free conditions at 60 °C. Nano-CuO–Au catalyst was found to have many advantages like high activity, simple workup, and good (87%) to very high yields (96%). The products were characterized by IR, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectra and elemental analysis. All the synthesized compounds were screened for in vitro antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibition activities. The compound 4b showed higher 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and H2O2 radical scavenging activity and compound 4e showed higher NO radical scavenging activity than the standard ascorbic acid. The compound 4j has much higher α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition activity than the standard acarbose.
