Solid-Phase Synthesis of α-Amino Alkyl or Aryl Phosphonopeptide Derivatives

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.
