Abstract
A method for the synthesis of Gly, Ala, Phe, and Thr esters is proposed and considered as being a stage of possible biomimetic synthesis of peptides. The methyl esters of the said amino acids are obtained via intervention of 2βhydroxypropyl phosphonate. The resulting aminoacyl phosphonates reacts with methanol to produce the amino acid methyl esters, with the release of phosphoric acid. The reaction is carried out at room temperature in water.
