A sulfonamide-based protecting group (PG), (9H-fluoren-9yl)methanesulfonyl (Fms), which can be used in a similar way to the well-established Fmoc PG, was developed. The advantages of this new PG were demonstrated in the successful formation of a phosphonamide between an N-Fmsprotected a-phosphonoalanine monoester and secondary alkylamines, including (R)-2-phenylethylamine, (S)-phenylalanine iert-butyl ester (H-Phe-OtBu), H-Pro-Gly-OtBu, and H-Phe-Phe-OtBu, without formation of oxazaphospholine, which is a serious problem associated with the Fmoc PG. The success should pave the way to the solid-phase synthesis of unnatural peptides substituted with a-amino phosphonic acid (AP) at essentially any arbitrary position without significant modification of the Fmoc-based chemistry that has been accumulated since Carpino's report in 1970. The N-Fms-AP monomer would attract much attention in the field of peptide mimetics.
