A new class of trialkylphosphorane has been prepared through reaction of a trialkylphosphine with 2-chlorodimethylmalonate in the presence of triethylamine. These new reagents promote the condensation reaction of carboxylic acids with alcohols to provide esters along with trialkylphosphine oxide and dimethylmalonate. The condensation reaction of chiral secondary alcohols can be controlled to give either high levels of inversion or retention through a subtle interplay involving basicity of the reaction media, solvent, and tuning the electronic and steric nature of the carboxylic acid and steric nature of the phosphorane employed. A coherent mechanism is postulated to explain these observations involving reaction via an initial acyloxyphosphonium ion.

A series of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and Gram-negative Escherichia coli and in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The results of antimicrobial activity demonstrated that the compounds 10, 20, and 21 were the most active ones among the synthesized compounds. The QSAR studies revealed the importance of dipole moment (μ), total energy (Te), and topological parameters (κ1 and κ3) in describing the antimicrobial activity of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol derivatives.
