Stereoselective synthesis of 1-aminoalkanephosphonic acids with two chiral centers and their activity towards leucine aminopeptidase
2003
The stereoselective synthesis of 1-amino-2-alkylalkanephosphonic acids, namely, compounds bearing two chiral centers, was achieved by the condensation of hypophosphorous acid salts of (R)(+) or (S)(-)-N-alpha-methylbenzylamine with the appropriate aldehydes in isopropanol. Simultaneous deprotection and oxidation by the action of bromine water provided equimolar mixtures of the RS:RR and SR:SS diastereomers of desired acids. They appeared to act as moderate inhibitors of kidney leucine aminopeptidase with potency dependent on the absolute configuration of both centers of chirality.
Polycondensed nitrogen heterocycles. Part19. Pyrrolo[1,2-f]phenanthridines by pschorr-type cyclization brought about by hypophosphorous acid
1986
Pyrrolo[1,2-f]phenanthridines were prepared in good yields by the diazotization in acetic acid of the amines la,b and subsequent treatment with hypophosphorous acid. The necessity for hypophosphorous acid in the reaction was demonstrated.
