Abstract
An efficient and eco-friendly protocol has been accomplished for a series of novel α-diaminophosphonates by a one-pot, three-component system via Kabachnik-Fields reaction of 4,4′-methylenedianiline, a variety of aryl/heteroaryl aldehydes and diphenylphosphite employing polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as a green solvent at 80 °C. All products were obtained in good to excellent yields (80–95%). The identity of the new synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR, LC-MS and elemental analysis. In vivo anti-viral activity was evaluated against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Compounds 4b, 4c, 4j and 4k exhibited the highest anti-viral activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) when compared with the standard drug ningnanmycin.
