Novel α-aminophosphonates 4 were synthesized via one pot three-component reaction of 4-aminoantipyrine, aldehydes, triphenylphosphite and Lewis acid catalyst. The chemical structures of all the synthesized compounds were elucidated by IR, NMR and MS spectral analysis. The antimicrobial activity of 4 was tested in vitro against pathogenic microbes such as E.

A novel method for the synthesis of starch-g-poly(methacrylic acid) composite was adopted by graft polymerization of hydrolysed starch (HS) and methacrylic acid (MAA) in aqueous medium using an efficient sodium perborate (SPB)-thiourea (TU) redox initiation system. The parameters influencing the redox system efficiency and thence the polymerization method were considered. These parameters comprehended the concentrations of MAA, SPB, TU and SPB/TU molar ratio as well as the polymerization temperature.
