Trisphosphates are chiefly used as additives in a variety of industrial products, such as flame retardants, elastomers, fiberglass resins, surface coatings, sealants and rigid foams. 1 , 2 Synthesis of high quality flame retardants with low flammability and melt dripping limits is an urgent need now-adays. 3 , 4 Phosphorus based fire retardants are known to act in both gas and condensed phases and also concurrently in both phases. 5 , 6 Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate is attracting much attention due to its several biological roles 7 in signal transduction, 8 non-capacitative calcium influx, 9 cell regulation etc. 10 Phosphoric acid derivatives play a major role in driving some metabolic processes by energy release that accompanies the cleavage of a phosphate group. 11 Herein, we introduced I ₂ as catalyst in addition to TBAI and synthesized triphosphate esters in less time with high yields. Cyclocondensation of 2-[(4-substituted anilino)methyl] phenol ( 1 ) with thiophosphoryl chloride in dry toluene in the presence of triethylamine at 10 - 40 ℃ afforded 2-chloro-3-(4-substitutedphenyl)-3,4-dihydro-2 H -1,3,2λ ⁵ -benzoxazaphosphinin-2-thione ( 2 ). Reaction of 2 with dipotassium salt of phosphoric acid/I ₂ and TBAI 12 , 13 in dry toluene at 50 - 60 ℃ gave di[3-(4-substituted-phenyl)-2-thioxo-3,4-dihydro-2 H -1,3,2λ ⁵ -benzoxazaphos-phinin-2-yl]hydrogenphosphate ( 3 ). Further, reaction of 3 with alkyl/aryl halide ( 4 ) in the presence of K ₂ CO ₃ /I ₂ 14 , 15 at 50 - 60 ℃ yielded the title compounds 5 - 13 ( 1 ). O -phosphorylation of K ₂ HPO ₄ with cyclic phosphoromonochloridates 2a - c were found to occur selectively at the two '-OK' groups of K ₂ HPO ₄ when the reaction was carried out initially at 0 ℃ and later at 50 - 60 ℃ in a mixture of toluene:hexane (3:1) in the presence of catalytic amount of TBAI and I ₂ . TBAI/I ₂ were found to be essential for the completion of the reaction at a faster rate and to form the products 3a - c in relatively pure state and in high yield. Further O -alkyl/arylation of the free -OH present in 3a - c was effective reaction with K ₂ CO ₃ and I ₂ followed by alkyl/aryl bromides was in toluene. Basically, I ₂ weakens P-Cl and C-Br bonds and helps formation of P-O and C-O bonds respectively ( Scheme 2 , 3 ). The merit of the reaction is that it provides scope even for the preparation of P -alkyl/arylphosphoric acid bis-esters through the manipulation of the free -OH group by appropriate methodology. Thus, a variety of divergent ligands at P in trisphosphates could be synthesized by this simple procedure. All compounds were purified by re-crystallization from acetone and were characterized by elemental, IR, ¹ H, ³¹ P and partly by mass spectral analysis. Compounds 3a - c , 5 - 13 exhibited characteristic IR absorption bands in the regions 1210-1276, 753-775, 1178-1189, 1095-1108, and 935-973 for P=O, 4 , 16 , 17 P=S, 4 P(V)-OH, 4 P-O and O-C of P-O-C( _Ar ) 4 , 18 , 19 respectively. ¹ H NMR spectra of 3a - c , 5 - 13 showed multiplets in the range δ 6.74-7.68 for aromatic protons. Methylene protons in the six-membered chair-like conformation of benzoxazaphosphinine system resonated as two doublets of doublets or multiplets at δ 4.95-4.90, 4.63-4.46 indicating their non equivalence coupling with phosphorus. 4 , 20 The other aliphatic protons gave signals in the expected region. ¹³ C NMR chemical shifts are in good agreement with the assigned structures. 4 , 21 The ³¹ P NMR chemical shifts appeared in the range of δ 58.93-52.54 for P _α and P _γ and 51.67 to 43.24 for P _β . The above data suggest that the two benzoxazaphosphonine rings are present in the same chemical and magnetic environment. Compounds 3a - c , 5 - 13 were screened for their antibacterial activity 22 against gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus, and gram-negative bacteria such as Klebsiella Pneumoniae by the disc-diffusion method in nutrient agar medium at two different concentrations (200, 400 ppm) in DMF( 1 ). The solutions were added to each filter disc, and the plates were incubated at 35 ℃ and examined for zone of bacterial inhibition around each disc after 24 h. Results were compared with the activity of the standard antibiotic penicillin. Antifungal activity was also evaluated against pellicularia solamnicolor and Macrophomina Phaseolina at two diffferent concentrations 23 (200, 400) using Griseofulvin as reference compound. Fungal cultures were grown on potato dextrose agar at 25 ℃ and spore suspension was adjusted to 105 spore/mL. Compounds 5 and 11 exhibited high antimicrobial and antifungal activity when compared with that of reference compounds. Melting points were determined in open capillary tubes on a Mel-Temp apparatus. IR spectra were recorded on perkin elmer 1000 units. The ¹ H, ¹³ C and ³¹ P NMR spectra were recorded Bruker AMX 400 NMR spectrometers operating at 400 MHz ( ¹ H), 100.61 MHz ( ¹³ C) and 121.9 MHz ( ³¹ P). Mass spectra were recorded by Fast atom bombardment, Liquid Chromatograph and De Ionized mass spectrometer. All compounds are dissolved in CDCl ₃ , DMSO- d₆ , chemical shifts are referenced to TMS ( ¹ H, ¹³ C) and 85% H ₃ PO ₃ ( ³¹ P). Micro analytical data were obtained from Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow, India. A solution of thiophosphoryl chloride (4.5 mmol) in 10 mL of dry toluene was added drop wise to a stirred solution of [2-(4-chlorophenyl amino) methyl phenol ( 1c ) (4 mmol) in 40 mL of dry toluene and triethylamine (8.6 mmol) at 0 ℃ for a period of 20 min. Later, the temperature was increased to 55 - 60 ℃. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC analysis. Triethylamine hydrochloride was filtered off. The filtrate was cooled to 0 ℃ and K ₂ HPO ₄ (2 mmol), dry hexane (10 mL) and a catalytic amount of I ₂ and TBAI were added. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for 20 min. It was then stirred for 10 - 12 hrs at 55 - 60 ℃. By TLC analysis, it was observed that reaction was completed. The KCl formed in the reaction was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was washed with water and recrystallzed from acetone to yield the desired pure hydrogen phosphate ( 3a ). Compounds 3b and 3c were prepared using the same above procedure.

The next synthetic route involves addition of potassium carbonate (2 mmol) in dry toluene; the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred for 2 hrs to get the potasium salts of the thiotriphosphates. The solution was then cooled down to 0 ℃ before addition of the required isopropyl bromide (2.2 mmol) and a catalytic amount of I ₂ and TBAI. The stirring was continued for a further 6 - 8 hrs until 50 - 60 ℃. The reaction was monitored by TLC analysis.

New classes of trisphosphates with significant antimicrobial activity were synthesized by a simple procedure conveniently in good yields under catalyzed conditions which is cost effective and we expect good flame retarding for our synthesized compounds.
