An Expedient Method for the Solid-Phase Synthesis of α-Aminoalkyl Phosphonopeptides.
Tetrahedron Lett. 2002;
43: 4103-4106
Key words
phosphonopeptides - solid-phase synthesis - aldehyde dimethylphosphite
Significance
Amino phosphonopeptides are highly significant molecules in biological systems as potent antimicrobial agents and as inhibitors of various enzymes. In 2002, Houghten and co-workers developed a solid-phase synthesis of α-aminoalkyl phosphonopeptides by using an aldehyde dimethylphosphite in the presence of the Lewis acid BF3·Et2O.
Comment
The developed method is one of the simplest and practically most viable methods for the generation of series of α-aminoalkyl or aryl phosphonopeptide derivatives in high yields with moderate stereoselectivity. The method can be used for the synthesis of libraries of peptide or nonpeptide phosphonates.
