Phosphonomethylphenylalanine (Pmp, 2) has shown wide utility as a hydrolytically stable phosphtyrosyl (pTyr, 1) mimetic, particularly in Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-binding peptides. (2S,3R)-3-(4-(phosphonomethyl)phenyl)pipecolic acid (3) represents a variant of Pmp having φ and χ₁ torsion angles constrained through incorporation into the piperidinyl ring structure contained within pipecolic acid. Reported herein is the enantioselective preparation of 3, in an orthogonally protected form (4) suitable for use in peptide synthesis. Stereochemistries at both the 2- and 3-positions are derived inductively from a single chiral center provided by the commercially available Evans chiral auxiliary, (4S)-4-benzyl-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one. Incorporation of 4 into a Grb2 SH2 domain-directed tripeptide (18) showed that Grb2 SH2 domain-binding affinity was reduced relative to the parent Pmp-containing tripeptide (19). Although conformational constraint did not enhance affinity in this case, novel amino acid analogue 4 may serve as a useful tool for the induction of defined phosphotyrosyl geometry in peptides directed at other signal transduction targets.
