Synthesis of a series of novel dialkylheteroaryl phosphonates (3a-l) was accomplished via Michaelis-Arbuzov rearrangement in high yields (70-80%) by the reaction of various heteroaryl halides (1) with trialkyl phosphite (2) at 50-55oC in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) under N2 atmosphere by using CeCl3.7H2O as a catalyst. The structures of the title compounds were established by elemental analyses and spectral data (IR, 1H, 13C and 31P NMR and LCMS). All the titled compounds (3a-l) showed promising antimicrobial activity
