J. Wrobel et A. Dietrich, PREPARATION OF L-(PHOSPHONODIFLUOROMETHYL)PHENYLALANINE DERIVATIVES AS NONHYDROLYZABLE MIMETICS OF O-PHOSPHOTYROSINE, Tetrahedron letters, 34(22), 1993, pp. 3543-3546
N-t-BOC-L-(Phosphonodifluoromethyl)phenylalanine benzyl ester (1) was
in 5 steps from N-t-BOC-L-tyrosine benzyl ester O-triflate (4). Compou
nd 1 was further converted to derivatives 2 and 3 which are potentiall
y suitable for peptide synthesis. Analogs 1 - 3 are non-hydrolyzable m
imetics of O-phosphotyrosine.
