Abstract: The present invention provides novel phosphonic acid diester derivatives useful as medicines. The phosphonic acid diester derivatives
are represented by the general formula:
wherein R1 represents amino group, N-lower alkylamino group, N-lower alkenylamino group, or the like;
R2 and R3 represent hydrogen atom, lower alkyl group, halogen atom, lower alkoxy group, or the like;
R4 represents hydrogen atom, lower alkyl group or phenyl(lower)alkyl group;
R5 and R6 represent lower alkyl group;
X, Y and Z represent that all of them are carbon atoms or one of them is nitrogen atom and the other two are carbon atoms;
Q represents a single bond or alkylene group;
or the pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof.
Abstract: A method for producing compounds of the general formula (I)
in which R is a linear or any branched (C1-C18) alkyl group, from compounds of the general formula (II)
that are reacted in the presence of hydrogen cyanide or a precursor producing hydrogen cyanide in situ and of catalytic amounts of base. The presence of another polar solvent is not necessary. Compounds of formula (I) are important intermediates for perfumes and aromatic substances.
