Abstract
Abstract 3-(Hydroxyimino)pentane-2,4-dione reacts with phosphonium ylides, Wittig–Horner reagents, trialkyl phosphites, and Lawesson's reagents to give the olefinic and cyclic products, the phosphonate adducts, the dialkyl phosphate products, the phosphinodithioic acid, and 2,4-dithione products, respectively. Furthermore, the reaction of 3-(phenylimino)pentane-2,4-dione with Wittig, Wittig–Horner reagents and trialkyl phosphite resulted in the formation of 2,5-diendioate, diethoxy phosphoryl hexanoate and the phosphate products. Possible reaction mechanisms are considered and the structural assignments are based on analytical and spectroscopic results. The antibacterial and antifungal activities for some of the new compounds are also reported. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
