Abstract

A series of phosphinopeptides containing C-terminal α-aminoalkylphosphinic acids were prepared in good yields directly in one-pot reactions of 2-(N-benzoxycarbonylamino)alkanamides/peptide amides, aldehydes, and aryldichlorophosphines, followed by hydrolysis. In the current method, the peptide bond was formed in a Mannich-type reaction.
