Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Biological Activities of O,O-Dialkyl α-[1-(2-Chlorothiazol-5-ylmethyl)-5-methyl- 1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-ylcarbonyloxy]alkylphosphonates

In order to search for novel agrochemicals with high activity and low toxicity, a series of phosphonate derivatives containing 1,2,3-triazole and thiazole rings were designed and synthesized using 2-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)- thiazole as the starting material. Their structures were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, EI-MS or ESI-MS and elemental analyses. The crystal structure of 7a was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Preliminary bioassays indicated that most of the target compounds did not display insecticidal activities, but a fraction of them possessed herbicidal and fungicidal activities to some extent.
