Abstract:Phosphonic and phosphinic acids, especially a-heteroatom-substituted ones, possess unique structural and physical features which enable them to act as hydrotically stable analogs to biological phosphates in biological processes. They also act as mimetics in the transition state of the protease-induced hydrolysis of dipeptides. Theˆrst half of this review focuses on selected new synthetic methods developed by our research group for the stereoselective synthesis of aheteroatom-substituted phosphonic and phosphin… Show more
We report a facile and efficient synthetic strategy toward a CH2-substituted phosphonate pThr mimetic and its application in phosphopeptide inhibitor synthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
