Recently, α-amino phosphonic acids and α-amino phosphonates have a vital importance of research chemists [1] [2] [3] , which is due to these family of compounds display, enzymatic inhibitors for HIV protease antagonists [4] and collagenase inhibitors [5] . Also, they use as anticancer [6] , antibacterial [7] , antiviral [8] and antioxidant [9] agents. On the other hands, functionally 1,2,4-triazines have unique properties for biological, medicinal and pharmacological chemistry [10] [11] [12] . Phosphorus compounds bearing and/or containing 1,2,4-triazine moieties exhibit a significant attention due to the specific biological properties [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] . Also, the introduction of fluorine atoms to heterocyclic nitrogen systems, mostly improve their physical, chemical and medical properties [18] [19] [20] [21] . In the present work, we focused on the reactivity of functional 1,2,4-triazines towards different reagents followed by simple addition of diethyl phosphonate to obtain a novel fluorine substituted α-amino phosphonic acids which considered as α-amino acids analog, in view of antioxidant activity.

α-amino phosphonic acids

The phosphorylation of amino-organic heterocyclic systems often improves their biological activity because of the P-O bond stores energy for metabolic processes [1] . Also, the chemistry of N-phosphoryl heterocyclic indicates that these compounds form dimensional polymeric chain via intermolecular P-O⁻・・・・・・⁺NH hydrogen bond [2] . Moreover, the reactivity of the dipolar ion structures of the tautomeric form of α-amino phosphonates is due to the higher electron-withdrawing properties of two phenoxy and P=O groups. Thus, the α-amino-phosphonate group has a high degree of stability against any reagent attack [3] . To deduce the aims of this work, 6-(2ʹ-Amino-5ʹ-nitrophenyl)- 3-thioxo-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H,4H)-one (1) as a starting material obtained from reflux of 5-nitroisatin with thiosemicarbazide in aq. NaOH (Scheme 1).

Fluoroacylation of compound 1 by boiling with ethyl 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate in THF yielded [22] 2,2,2-trifluoro-N-[2-(5-hydroxy-3-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4- triazin-6-yl)-4-nitrophenyl] acetamide (2), which upon ammonilysis by reflux with liquid ammonia in ethanol produced [23] 3-amino-6-[2ʹ-(trifluoroaceta- mido-5ʹʹ-nitrophenyl)]-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (3) (Scheme 2). Condensation of compound 3 with various nitro and halogenated aromatic aldehydes in boiling ethanol yielded the corresponding Schiff bases 4 (Scheme 2).

The main aims of the present work produce a novel fluorine substituted α-amino acids containing 1,2,4-triazinone moiety. The addition of compounds with phosphorus hydrogen bonds to azomethine (HC=N-Ar) bonds provides an economical method for the synthesis of organophosphorus derivatives. Thus, the addition of diethyl phosphonate to Schiff bases by warm at 80˚C - 100˚C along 6h with a few drops of triethylamine produced [24] α-amino phosphonates 5 which upon acid hydrolysis afforded [25] the novel fluorinated α-amino phosphonic acids 6 as a vital target (Scheme 3).

may as they shown in Figure 1.

The former structures of novel fluorinated α-amino phosphonic acids have been deduced from correct their elemental analysis and spectral measurements. IR spectra of both the compounds 1-6 recorded the absorption bands ῡ at 1530, 1350 cm⁻¹for asymmetric and symmetric NO₂ groups, 3200 - 3100 and 1660 cm⁻¹ for NH and C=O of 1,2,4-triazine, also ῡ at 1630 cm⁻¹ attribute to CONH group and 1250 cm⁻¹ of C-F functional groups. IR of compound 3 showed ῡ at 3300 and 1610 cm⁻¹ stretching and bending of NH₂ group, which lacks in all the compounds 4-6. Also, the presence of ῡ at 1600 - 1580 cm⁻¹ for the exocyclic

CH=N group in the compound 4. New functional groups at ῡ 1220 - 1215 (P=O) and 1050 (P-O-R) cm⁻¹ observed in the spectrum of 5. In addition, showed ῡ at 2900 - 2880 and 1480 - 1440 cm⁻¹ for stretching and bending of CH₃ & CH₂. On the other hand, IR spectrum of 6 showed ῡ at 2730, 2680 cm⁻¹ attribute for two hydroxy groups bonded to the phosphorus atom. All the fluorinated 1,2,4-tri- azinones 2 - 6 showed a stable true hydroxy group at the position-5 of 1,2,4-tri- azines at ῡ 3500 - 3450 cm⁻¹. Presence of these hydroxy groups may be due to a large withdrawing from both NO₂, CF₃ groups via a type of H-bonding.

The H-bonding form’s of compound 2.

¹H NMR spectra of the novel fluorinated α-amino phosphonic acids give us a good indication of what those structures. Thus, ¹H NMR spectra of compound 1 exhibit δ at 3.5, 13.0, 11.8 ppm for NH₂, NH, NH of 1,2,4-triazinone, in addition to δ 8.8, 8.2, 7.9 ppm for aromatic protons. ¹H NMR spectra of 2 & 4 recorded a lack’s of NH₂ protons while showed δ at 9.22 ppm for methin proton (-CH=N-) in compound 4. Also, ¹H NMR spectrum of compound 5 showed a new resonated signal at δ 1.2(J = 6.8 Hz) and large signal 4.0 - 3.9 ppm for OCH₂CH₃ protons, with a broad signal at 3.0 - 2.95, 2.7, 2.5 and 1.05, 1.03 ppm for CH₂ & CH₃ protons. ¹H NMR spectrum of compound 6f showed lacks both NH protons which is due to a type of F….H bond while reporting the signal at 4.95 ppm attribute to OH proton. ¹H NMR spectra of all new synthetic compounds 1 - 6 recorded the δ at 11.8 ppm for internal NH of 1,2,4-triazine at position-4, and 8.55 ppm for NHCO protons. ³¹P NMR (DMSO) of the 6f exhibit resonated signals at δ 14.0 (O=P-OH) and 20.5 (P-CH) ppm. Also, ¹H NMR spectra of 6 recorded the P-CHAr proton at tow doublets at 4.55 (J_PCH = 21 Hz) and 4.64 (J_PCH = 18 Hz) ppm while that showed the P-OH protons at 3.00 ppm which supported the existence of that structures. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 5 supported their structure due to the presence of the characteristic carbon atoms at δ 16, 60.1, 45.2 and 177.5 ppm attributed to CH₃, CH₂, CH-P and C=O of 1,2,4-tri- azines. In addition, signals at δ 155 and 130 - 127 ppm for CONH and aromatic carbons. The aliphatic carbons CH₂, CH₃ of compound 5 disappeared in that of compound 6. Finally, mass spectrometry study of novel fluorinated α-amino phosphonic acids, for example, 6band 6f recorded a molecular ion fragments at low intensity, with base peaks at m/e 231 for (6b) and m/e 95 for (6f) attribute to α-amino phosphonic radicals (Figure 2 & Figure 3).

The higher stability of their base peak may be due to the tautomeric forms present and the free delocalization from HN to P=O centers (Figure 4).

1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) use to produce and reduce the odd electron stable-free radical which showed a strong UV-absorption maximum at λ = 517 nm. The new systems obtained dissolved in DMSO/EtOH at 150 & 300 μmol∙L⁻¹ added to DPPH at 100 μmol∙L⁻¹. The tube kept at room temperature for 20 minutes and the absorption measured at λ 517 nm. The difference between the test and the control taken as the percent scavenging of the DPPH radical by use the formula: % inhibition = ( A B − A A ) / A B × 100

where AB: absorption of blank; AA: absorption of the tested compound. The radical scavenging activity of ascorbic acid also measured and compared with that of the different synthesized compounds [27] . The observed data on the antioxidant-activated of the compounds and control shown in Table 1.

From the results obtained (Table 1) we can conclude that:

Presence of CF₃ and NO₂ of 6-aryl-1,2,4-triazinone and α-amino phosphonate bearing 3-substituted amino-1,2,4-triazinones deployed a good to perfect scavenging activities. The ordering activity is 6f > 6e > 6d > 6b > 6a > 6c, which mainly attribute to the presence of C-halogen and C-NO₂ of aryl-amino derivatives. The activity of α-amino phosphonic acids 6 is higher than the activity of α-amino phosphonates 5. Also, high activity of 6f comparing with the other systems is may be due to a rich of fluorine atoms bonded to a 1,2,4-triazinone moiety, and the phosphonate groups are the potent antioxidant agent.

In the search for new antioxidant agents, the present work reports a simple route to synthetic novel fluorine substituted nitroaryl-1,2,4-triazine bearing α-amino phosphonic acids. Presence of rich aliphatic/aromatic fluorine atoms and nitro

groups bonded to 1,2,4-triazinone bearing α-amino phosphonic acids enhance the antioxidant activities, which may use the feature of medicinal treatments.
