First method is the classical Gabriel-Cromwell reaction and the second one is the modified version of Gabriel-Cromwell reaction which was developed in this thesis. In the first method, vinyl phosphonate was used as the starting material, then it was brominated to get 1,2-dibromoethyl phosphonate. HBr elimination from this compound, then reaction with different primary amines gave desired aziridinyl phosphonates in good yields. In the second method, easily available acetyl phosphonate was used as the starting material which was reacted with DBU and tosyl chloride to get α-tosylated vinyl phosphonate. Reaction of this compound with the same amines gave aziridinyl phosphonates in good yields, as well. Biological activities of all newly synthesized compounds were studied against different bacteria. Key words: Aziridinyl phosphonates, Gabriel-Cromwell reaction, biological activity. iv ÖZ AZ İRİDİNE 2-FOSFONATLARIN SENTEZ İ VE B İYOLOJ İK AKT İVİTELER İ Babiz, Hakan Yüksek Lisans, Kimya Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Prof. Dr. Özdemir Do ğan Eylül 2010, 74 sayfa Aziridin 2-fosfonatların sentezi için iki ayrı yöntem kullanılarak sistematik bir çalı şma yapılmı ştır. Birinci yöntem klasik Gabriel-Cromwell tepkimesi ve ikinci yöntem bu tez kapsamında geli ştirilmi ş olan modifiye Gabriel-Cromwell tepkimesidir. Birinci yöntemde ba şlangıç maddesi olarak vinil fosfonat kullanılmı ş ve bu maddenin bromlanmasıyla 1,2-dibromoetil fosfonat elde edilmi ştir. Bu bile şikten HBr ayrılması sonra farklı birinci derece aminlerle tepkimesiyle beklenen aziridinil fosfonatlar iyi verimlerle elde edilmi ştir. İkinci yöntemde ise bulunması daha kolay asetil fosfonat ba şlangıç maddesi olarak kullanılmı ştır. Bu bile şiğin DBU ve tosil klorür ile tepkimesinden α-tosillenmi ş vinil fosfonat elde edilmi ştir. Bu bile şiğin aynı aminlerle tepkimesinden de beklenen aziridinil fosfonatlar yine iyi verimlerle elde edilmi ştir. Sentezlenen tüm yeni bile şiklerin biyolojik aktiviteleri farklı bakteriler üzerinde çalı şılmı ştır. Anahtar kelimeler: aziridinil fosfonatlar, Gabriel-Cromwell reaksiyonu, biyolojik aktivite. v To my dear parents... vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my greatest appreciations to my supervisor Prof. Dr. Özdemir Do ğan for his patience, guidance, advice, criticism, encouragements throughout this study.
