N. Mora et al., A NEW APPROACH TO PHOSPHOSERINE AND PHOSPHOTHEREONINE SYNTHONS SUITABLE FOR THE STEPWISE SYNTHESIS OF PHOSPHOPEPTIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 34(15), 1993, pp. 2461-2464
Several phosphoserine and phosphothreonine synthons suitable for the s
tepwise synthesis of phosphopeptides have been prepared. Treatment of
methylthiomethyl (MTM) esters of either benzyloxycarbonyl (Z), tert-bu
tyloxycarbonyl (Boc) and allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc) serine and / or thre
onine with phosphochloridate in pyridine, followed by MgBr2 cleavage o
f MTM in diethylether, afforded the title compounds in excellent yield
s.
