Utilization of the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction in the synthesis of a number of amino acid-derived 5- and 7-membered cyclic phosphorus-containing compounds is described. Coupling of achiral and non-racemic allylic amines with P(V) and P(III) chlorides generates acyclic phosphorus-containing metathesis precursors. These templates undergo RCM in the presence of the Grubbs benzylidene catalyst to afford an array of amino acid-based P-heterocycles.
