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.

Trisubstituted vinylphosphonates have been prepared via three-component reaction using phosphites, acetylenic esters, and aroyl chlorides in good yields. A variety of phosphites, activated acetylenes, and aroyl chlorides have been successfully employed in these reactions. In addition, three-component synthesis of vinylphosphonate

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

Recent studies have shown that poly(vinylphosphonate)s are readily accessible by rare earth metal-mediated group transfer polymerization (GTP). This article highlights the progress in this new field and advantages of GTP in comparison to classical anionic and radical polymerization approaches. Late

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

In the present work, copolymers of vinylphosphonic acid and 4-vinilyimidazole (poly(4-VIm-co-VPA)) were found to be substrates favoring the precipitation of nanohydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals from stable supersaturated solutions at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C. Deposition kinetics were studied by the
