Abstract
This review describes the synthesis, biological interest and importance of the α-aminophosphonic acids analogs of the 20 proteinogenic α-amino acids. Special attention is devoted to those stereoselective procedures that allow the synthesis of the required compounds in enantiomerically pure form.
Keywords: α-Aminophosphonic acids, α-aminophosphonates, α-amino acids, stereoselective synthesis, biological activity, resolution
