Abstract

(Phosphonomethyl) phenylalanine (Pmp) and (phosphonodifluoromethyl) phenylalanine (F2Pmp) as well as their β-amino acid congeners were prepared as a protecting variant amenable to the peptide synthesis from readily available 2-benzyl-1, 3-propandiols possessing either a diethylphosphonomethyl-or diethylphosphonodifluoromethyl functionality at the para-position via the lipase-catalyzed desymmetrization.
