Abstract:
The diastereoselective synthesis of Pro-Phe phosphinyl dipeptide isosteres in protected form was achieved by starting from optically active 1,1-diethoxyethyl(aminomethyl)phosphinate. Our methodology involves diastereoselective α-alkylation and β′-alkylation of phosphinate derivatives with an asymmetric center at the phosphorus atom.
