Product Description
Methyl 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetate is a biochemical compound that could be utilized as a biomaterial or organic/chemical reagent for biomedical research.
Methyl diethylphosphonoacetate (CAS 1067-74-9) is an organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula C₇H₁₅O₅P and a molecular weight of 210.16 g/mol. It appears as a clear colorless to slightly yellow liquid with a boiling point of 127-131°C at 9 mmHg, a density of 1.145 g/mL at 25°C, and a refractive index of 1.43. Methyl diethylphosphonoacetate is used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of phosphonate esters. It serves as a reagent in the preparation of allylic fluorides and in regioselective Diels-Alder reactions.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Methyl diethylphosphonoacetate does not have a defined biological target as it is a synthetic reagent rather than a pharmacologically active compound. Its function is chemical—it serves as a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reagent for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters. The compound's phosphonate group enables the formation of carbon-carbon double bonds through condensation with aldehydes and ketones. When incorporated into pharmaceutical compounds, the phosphonate group can serve as a bioisostere for phosphate or carboxylate groups. The compound itself is not evaluated for biological activity against specific targets.
ln Vitro
In order to create antibiotic structural units and other similar compounds, branched allyl fluorides and regioselective Diels-Alder reactions require methyl 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetate as a reactant or reagent.
As a chemical reagent, methyl diethylphosphonoacetate exhibits no intrinsic pharmacological activity in vitro. Its utility is demonstrated in the preparation of allylic fluorides, in regioselective Diels-Alder reactions, and as a reactant in the preparation of substituted thiophenes and furans for type 2 diabetes treatment. The compound serves as a reagent in the synthesis of various bioactive molecules, including antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer agents, due to its ability to introduce a phosphonate group into organic substrates. In cell-based assays, the compound itself is not tested for biological activity. Instead, the products synthesized from this reagent are evaluated for their pharmacological properties.
ln Vivo
Methyl diethylphosphonoacetate does not exhibit in vivo biological activity as it is not a therapeutic agent. The compound is used as a reagent in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and bioactive molecules. Any in vivo effects would be associated with the final products synthesized from this intermediate, not with the intermediate itself. The compound is not administered to animals in pharmacological studies and has no known physiological effects. Its role is strictly chemical—providing a versatile phosphonate reagent for constructing complex molecules.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays are not applicable to methyl diethylphosphonoacetate as it is not a biologically active compound. Standard characterization protocols for this reagent include nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ³¹P NMR) and mass spectrometry to confirm structure and purity. Boiling point determination and GC analysis (>96% purity) are used for quality control. For synthetic applications, typical reactions include Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination with aldehydes or ketones to form α,β-unsaturated esters, and further functionalization of the resulting products.
Cell Assay
Cell-based experiments are not performed with methyl diethylphosphonoacetate itself, as it is a chemical reagent rather than a test compound for biological activity. When the compound is used to synthesize drug candidates, those products may be tested in cell culture using standard protocols. Typically, final compounds are dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture medium to achieve desired concentrations (typically 0.1-100 µM). Cells are incubated for 24-72 hours, and effects on cell viability, proliferation, or specific signaling pathways are measured using appropriate assays. The intermediate itself is not evaluated in cellular systems.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with methyl diethylphosphonoacetate, as it is a research reagent for chemical synthesis. When the compound is used to synthesize drug candidates, those final products undergo standard preclinical evaluation. Typical protocols for drug candidates include pharmacokinetic studies in rodents (oral or intravenous administration, blood sampling for LC-MS/MS analysis), efficacy studies in disease models, and toxicology studies (acute and repeated-dose toxicity, histopathology). These studies evaluate the safety and efficacy of the final drug molecules, not the synthetic intermediate.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of methyl diethylphosphonoacetate are not characterized as it is not a drug substance. Based on its physicochemical properties (molecular weight 210.16, logP approximately 1.5-2.0, liquid at room temperature), the compound would be expected to have moderate oral bioavailability if administered. The phosphonate ester groups would likely be hydrolyzed in vivo to release the free phosphonic acid. However, the compound is not intended for human exposure and has not been evaluated in formal pharmacokinetic studies. For drug candidates synthesized from this intermediate, pharmacokinetic properties are determined as part of drug development.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Methyl diethylphosphonoacetate is an irritant to eyes, respiratory system, and skin (R36/37/38), with a WGK Germany classification of 3 and a flash point above 230°F. Safety precautions include S26 (in case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice) and S36 (wear suitable protective clothing). Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of gloves, safety glasses, and working in a fume hood. The compound should be stored sealed in a dry place at room temperature.
Additional Infomation
Methyl diethylphosphonoacetate is a versatile Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reagent used in organic synthesis for the preparation of α,β-unsaturated esters, allylic fluorides, and substituted thiophenes and furans. It is also known as diethyl methoxycarbonylmethylphosphonate and methyl (diethoxyphosphoryl)acetate. The compound is used in the synthesis of various bioactive molecules, including antiviral, antibacterial, and anticancer agents. It has not undergone clinical trials and is not approved as a pharmaceutical. Its mechanism of action is chemical—serving as a phosphonate reagent for carbon-carbon bond formation.
