[GRAPHICS]
A protected form of L-4-[sulfono(difluoromethyl)]phenylalanine (F(2)Smp), a
novel non hydrolyzable phospho- and sulfotyrosine mimetic, was synthesized
via electrophilic fluorination of a benzylic sulfonate followed by a Pd-ca
talyzed cross coupling reaction between the fluorinated sulfonate and the z
incate of protected iodoalanine, F(2)Smp was incorporated into a peptide us
ing solid-phase peptide synthesis techniques.
