All the enantiomers of (1-amino-3-hydroxypropane-1,3-diyl)diphosphonic acid, newly design phosphonate analogues of 4-hydroxyglutamic acids, were obtained. The synthetic strategy involved Abramov reactions of diethyl (R)- and (S)-1-(N-Boc-amino)-3-oxopropylphosphonates with diethyl phosphite, separation of diastereoisomeric [1-(N-Boc-amino)-3-hydroxypropane-1,3-diyl]diphosphonates as O-protected esters, followed by their hydrolysis to the enantiomeric phosphonic acids. The absolute configuration of the enantiomeric phosphonates was established by comparing the 31P NMR chemical shifts of respective (S)-O-methylmandelic acid esters obtained from respective pairs of syn- and anti-[1-(N-Boc-amino)-3-hydroxypropane-1,3-diyl]diphosphonates according to the Spilling rule.
