ABSTRACT
α-Aminophosphonic acids have a remarkably broad bioactivity spectrum. They can function as highly efficient transition state mimics for a variety of hydrolytic and angiotensin-converting enzymes, which makes them interesting target structures for synthetic chemists. In particular, the phosphonic acid analogs to α-aminocarboxylic acids (Pa AAs) are potent enzyme inhibitors, but many of them are only available by chiral or enzymatic resolution; sometimes only one enantiomer is accessible, and several have never been prepared in enantiopure form at all. Today, a variety of methods to access enantiopure α-aminophosphonic acids is known but none of the reported approaches can be generally applied for the synthesis of Pa AAs. Here we show that the phosphonic acid analogs of many (proteinogenic) α-amino acids become accessible by the catalytic, stereoselective asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of α-oxo-phosphonates. The highly enantioenriched (enantiomeric excess (ee) ≥ 98 %) α-hydroxyphosphonates obtained are important pharmaceutical building blocks in themselves and could be easily converted to α-aminophosphonic acids in most studied cases. Even stereoselectively deuterated analogs became easily accessible from the same α-oxo-phosphonates using deuterated formic acid (DCO2 H).
