AMINO ACID-DERIVED PHOSPHONAMIDIC ANHYDRIDES AND METHODS OF PREPARING THE SAME

摘要

New phosphonamide compounds and methods of forming those compounds are provided. The inventive methods comprise forming a template opened-ring phosphonamide compound and optionally subjecting the template to a ring-closing metathesis reaction in the presence of a ring-closing catalyst (e.g., a Grubbs catalyst) to yield a heterocyclic phosphonamide. Advantageously, the template structures can be provided with a wide array of functional groups (e.g., amino acid side chains, peptides) chosen to provide particular properties to the compound. The preferred heterocyclic phosphonamides are represented by formula (I).
