title: Synthesis of protected L-4-[sulfono(difluoromethyl)phenylalanine and its incorporation into a peptide.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A protected form of L-4-[sulfono(difluoromethyl)]phenylalanine (F(2)Smp), a novel non-hydrolyzable phospho- and sulfotyrosine mimetic, was synthesized via electrophilic fluorination of a benzylic sulfonate followed by a Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between the fluorinated sulfonate and the zincate of protected iodoalanine. F(2)Smp was incorporated into a peptide using solid-phase peptide synthesis techniques.
