Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of four N-benzhydryl protected diethyl α-amino-α-arylmethanephosphonates (aryl = phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 1-anthryl, and 1-pyrenyl) reveal several distinct types of hydrogen bonding, leading to the formation of (a) dime
1-(Acylamino)alkylphosphonic acids—alkaline deacylation

The alkaline deacylation of a representative series of 1-(acylamino)alkylphosphonic acids [(AC)-AAP: (AC) = Ac, TFA, Bz; AAP = GlyP, AlaP, ValP, PglP and PheP] in an aqueous solution of KOH (2M) was investigated. The results suggested a two-stage reaction mechanism with a quick interaction of the hydroxyl ion on the carbonyl function of the amide R-C(O)-N(H)- group in the first stage, which leads to instant formation of the intermediary acyl-hydroxyl adducts of R-C(O?)2-N(H)-, visible in the 31P NMR spectra. In the second stage, these intermediates decompose slowly by splitting of the RC(O?)2-N(H)- function with the subsequent formation of 1-aminoalkylphosphonate and carboxylate ions.

Aromatic amino acid ammonia-lyases and aromatic amino acid 2,3-aminomutases contain the post-translationally formed prosthetic 3,5-dihydro-4-methylidene-5H-imidazol-5-one (MIO) group. MIO enzymes catalyze the stereoselective synthesis of α- or β-amino acid enantiomers, making these chemical processes environmentally friendly and affordable. Characterization of novel inhibitors enables structural understanding of enzyme mechanism and recognizes promising herbicide candidates as well. The present study found that both enantiomers of the aminophosphonic acid analogue of the natural substrate phenylalanine and a novel derivative bearing a methylidene at the β-position inhibited phenylalanine ammonia-lyases (PAL), representing MIO enzymes. X-ray methods unambiguously determined the absolute configuration of all tested enantiomers during their synthesis. Enzyme kinetic measurements revealed the enantiomer of the methylidene-substituted substrate analogue as being a mirror image relation to the natural l-phenylalanine as the strongest inhibitor. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) confirmed the binding constants and provided a detailed analysis of the thermodynamic driving forces of ligand binding. Molecular docking suggested that binding of the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers is possible by a mirror image packing. (Figure presented.).
