Application

Vinylphosphonic acid (VPA) can be used as a monomer unit for the synthesis of poly(vinylphosphonic acid) via free radical polymerization. It is also used to develop copolymers of VPA with acrylonitrile, N-isopropylacrylamide, styrene, vinylpyrrolidone, and acrylic and methacrylic acid. These copolymers find potential application in hydrogels, drug delivery, biomimetic mineralization, and polymer electrolyte membranes in fuel cells.
It can also be used as an organic building block to prepare (E)-styryl phosphonic acid derivatives by reacting with various aryl halides via Pd-catalyzed Heck coupling reaction.

In the course of our investigations on the synthesis of new nitrogen heterocyclic derivatives, we were interested in the synthesis and study of new 1,4-oxazine rings. To this aim, the desired bisvinylphosphate was prepared from N-Boc morpholine-3,5-dione and was then

We have previously reported the synthesis of vinylphosphonate-linked thymidine dimers and their incorporation into synthetic oligonucleotides to create vinylphosphonate internucleotide linkages in the DNA. Such linkages have a profound effect on DNA backbone rotational flexibility, and we have shown that

Bloom (BLM) and Werner (WRN) syndrome proteins are members of the RecQ family of SF2 DNA helicases. In this paper, we show that restricting the rotational DNA backbone flexibility, by introducing vinylphosphonate internucleotide linkages in the translocating DNA strand, inhibits

The first enantioselective synthesis of chiral isosteric phosphonate analogues of FTY720 is described. One of these analogues, FTY720-(E)-vinylphosphonate (S)-5, but not its R enantiomer, elicited a potent antiapoptotic effect in intestinal epithelial cells, suggesting that it exerts its action via

Poly(vinylphosphonic acid-co-methacrylic acid) microbeads were synthesized by suspension polymerization, and their indium adsorption properties were investigated. The obtained microbeads were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microbeads were wrinkled spheres, irrespective of the
