Total Synthesis of Fosfazinomycin A

Fosfazinomycin A(1), methyl valylarginylmethylhydrazinohydroxyphosphonohydro xyacetate, has been synthesized. N-Carbobenzyloxyvalylnitroarginine(6) was reacted with methyl methylhydrazinobenzyloxyphosphonobenzyloxyacet ate(10) which has carbon-phosphorus bond, to give a coupled product of methyl N-Carbobenzyloxyvalylnitroarginylmethylhydrazinob enzyloxyphosphonobenzyloxyacetate(11). The deprotection of (11) by hydrogenation yielded Fosfazinomycin A(1).
