✦ Synopsis
The preparation of both enantiomers of 2-amino-6-phosphonohexanoic acid [(R)-and (S)-AP6] is described. The highly diastereoselective alkylation of imidazolidinones 4 and hydrolysis of the alkylated products [(2R,5R, l'S)-6 and (2S,5S,1'S)-6] proceeds under relatively mild conditions to give the physiologically important, enantiopure aminophosphonic acids (R)-AP6 and (S)-AP6.

We have previously shown that (RS)-2-amino-3-[3-hydroxy-5-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)isoxazol-4-yl]propionic acid (2-Me-Tet-AMPA) is a selective agonist at (RS)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)propionic acid (AMPA) receptors, markedly more potent than AMPA itself, whereas the isomeric com
