RESUMO
N-2-Nitrophenylsulfenyl imino dipeptides bearing various functional groups were successfully prepared by MnO2 -mediated oxidation and then subjected to diastereoselective indolylation. Each diastereomer of the adduct was selectively obtained from the same substrates using the appropriate chiral phosphoric acid catalysts. These transformations would be useful for synthesizing non-canonical amino acid-containing peptides as novel drug candidates.

A practical method for synthesizing chiral α-amino phosphonic acid derivatives was developed. Readily available and stable N-o-nitrophenylsulfenyl (Nps) imino phosphonate was utilized as a substrate for a highly enantioselective Friedel-Crafts-type addition of indole or pyrrole nucleophiles catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acid. The resulting adduct was easily converted into N-9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) amino phosphonic acid, which is useful for synthesizing peptides containing an amino phosphonic acid.
