Abstract

Many attempts to synthesize AspΨ(PO2CH2)Ala phosphinic pseudodipeptides by Michael addition of aspartyl aminophosphinic acid to ethyl methacrylate have failed. The preparation of such phosphinic peptides was finally achieved starting from a protected PheΨ(PO2CH2)Ala phosphinic building block. The key step is a mild oxidation of the phenyl group to carboxylic acid by use of the ruthenium trichloride-sodium metaperiodate system.
