title: Nonenzymatic peptide-based catalytic asymmetric phosphorylation of inositol derivatives.
abstract: The ability to use small peptides as catalysts for asymmetric phosphorylation provides opportunities for rapid syntheses of phosphate-containing compounds and natural products. This short review outlines the genesis of this concept and its reduction to practice in the context of concise syntheses of the enantiomeric D-I-1P and D-I-3P targets. The implications for the development of additional site-selective catalysts are discussed.
