Preparation of a novel group of hybrid compounds N-benzyl aminoboronbenzylphosphonic and N,N′-ethylenedi(aminoboronbenzylphosphonic) acids

Two groups of new boronic acids containing aminophosphonate functions were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS. Both groups of compounds were obtained by simple reactions of prepared in situ tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite with a corresponding imine. The synthesized compounds may serve as a potential new class of building blocks, BNCT agents and supramolecular host molecules.

The new hybrid aminoboronphosphonic acids were synthesized in simple and convenient reactions and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The obtained compounds may be potential building blocks in Petasis and Suzuki reactions, BNTC agents and supramolecular host molecules.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slideResearch highlights
