Abstract
[(4-Hydroxymethyl-2-methoxyphenyl)methyl]phosphonic acid di-tert-butyl ester (8) served as a key intermediate in the stereoselective preparation of N-Fmoc-3-methoxy-4-(di-tert-butyl)phosphonomethyl-L-phenylalanine (5). Reagent 5 may be useful for the solid-phase synthesis of phosphotyrosyl mimetic-containing peptides.
Keywords: Amino acid, asymmetric, chiral auxiliaries, peptides, stereoselective synthesis
