Synthesis and molluscicidal activity of phosphorus-containing heterocyclic compounds derived from 5,6-bis (4-bromophenyl)-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazine

Novel N-1-(phosphoryl moiety)-N-2-(1,2,4-triazin-3-yl)hydrazines 4, 6, 8, 9 and 12, iminophosphorane 3, iminophosphane 5, 1,2,4-triazinyldiazaphospholine 7, 1,2,4,3-triazaphospholinotriazines 2, 10, 11, and 1,2,4-triazino[3,2-c][1,2,4,5] triazaphosphine 13 have been obtained via treatment 5,6-bis(4-bromophenyl)-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazine (1) with various polyfunctional phosphorus reagents by stirring at room temperature or refluxing for long time in tetrahydrofuran. Structures of these compounds have been deduced upon the basis of elemental and spectral data. Molluscicidal activity of the prepared compounds against Biomphalaria Alexandrina snails (the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni) showed considerable activities.
