Reactivity and suitability of t-Boc-protected thiophosphotyrosine intermediate analogs for the solid or solution...

N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-O-(dimethylthiophosphono)-L-tyrosine (6) and N-(tert-butoxycarbony)-O-(dicyanoethylthiophosphono)-L-tyros ine (15) were prepared as intermediates for the synthesis of thiophosphotyrosine-containing peptides. The reactivity and suitability of two compounds for the solid phase or solution phase peptide synthesis utilizing t-Boc chemistry were examined.
