Face-selective conjugate addition of lithiated Schöllkopf's bislactim ether derived from cyclo[Ala-d-Val] 4 to prochiral vinylphosphonates 5a-c allows a direct and stereocontrolled access to optically pure MAP4 analogues, the 2-amino-2-methyl-4-phosphonobutanoic acid derivatives 12-15. The relative stereochemistry was assigned from NMR studies of the cyclic derivatives 16 and 17. Eight-membered transition states are invoked to rationalize the stereochemical outcome of the additions.
