The main objective of the study was to prepare tamarind seed polysaccharide grafted copolymers of polyacrylamide (TSP-g-Am) using a 3² factorial design. Tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP) was extracted, and grafted copolymer of TSP was prepared using polyacrylamide as copolymer and ceric ammonium nitrate as initiator. Various batches (F1-F9) of TSP-g-Am were prepared, among which F1 showed highest grafting efficiency; hence, the prepared TSP-g-Am (F1) was evaluated for grafting efficiency, conversion, effect of initiator and further characterized using SEM analysis, contact angle determination, DSC analysis, swelling index, swelling and deswelling, and chemical resistance. The contact angle of TSP was found to be 81 ± 2, and that of TSP-g-Am (F1) was found to be 74 ± 2, which indicates that the wetting ability of the grafted copolymer was less than that of the native polymer. The results of thermal analysis indicated that TSP-g-Am had a more stable molecular structure than TSP. The morphology of the grafted polymer was observed from SEM images, and it was observed that the particles was asymmetrical. Antimicrobial activity was also found in the grafted copolymer. The present study concludes that the TSP-g-Am showed an excellent performance in thermal stability and swelling capacity compared with TSP. The detailed structural characteristics, as well as the excellent thermal stability and swelling capacities, will make it beneficial to use the synthesised copolymer as a precursor for the production of large-scale eco-friendly advanced materials with a wide range of applications, acting as a stabiliser, thickener, binder, release retardant, modifier, suspending agent, viscosity enhancer, emulsifying agent, or carrier for novel drug delivery systems in oral, buccal, colon, and ocular systems, and in nanofabrication and wound dressing, and it is also becoming an important part of food, cosmetics, confectionery, and bakery.

This work reports ultrasound assisted synthesis diethyl (2-(1-(morpholinomethyl)-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl) (substituted phenyl/heteryl) methylphosphonate 9(a–j) derivatives. The derivatives are synthesized using a green protocol. In the first step, 3-hydrazonoindolin-2-one is synthesized using ultrasound. In the second step, diethyl (substituted phenyl/heteryl)(2-(2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl) methylphosphonate 6(a–j) derivatives are synthesized using cerric ammonium nitrate as catalyst. In the third step, diethyl (2-(1-(morpholinomethyl)-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)hydrazinyl) (substituted phenyl/heteryl) methylphosphonate 9(a–j) derivatives are synthesized using ultrasound. Isatin, chemically known as H-indole-2,3-dione, and its derivatives possess a broad range of biological and pharmacological properties. Isatin is widely used as a starting material for the synthesis of a broad range of heterocyclic compounds and as substrates for drug synthesis. The α-amino phosphonate derivatives constitute an important class of organophosphorus compounds on account of their versatile biological activity. Morpholine moiety has been found to be an eminent pharmacophore in medicinal chemistry. A number of molecules possessing morpholine moiety are clinically approved drugs. The importance of this ring is well understood by medicinal chemists, since they play a major role in molecular properties such as an electronic distribution, three dimensionality, scaffold flexibility/rigidity, lipophilicity or polarity and metabolic stability. Considering the importance of the three pharmacophores, this promoted us to club these pharmacophores together in a single molecule using a green synthetic protocol.The structures of the ultrasound synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral analysis like IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR and MS.
