“…Organophosphorus compounds are important substrates in the study of biochemical processes, and β-aminophosphonates, as they are isosteres of β-amino acids, play an important role as enzyme inhibitors, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals as well as reveal diverse and interesting biological and biochemical properties. Some β-aminophosphonic acids and their derivatives have been identified as natural products. , The parent acid was first isolated from Celiata protozoa, and subsequently the compound along with its different derivatives was obtained from microorganisms. , Other important uses of these compounds are as pesticides and in the preparation of valuable metal complexes. , …”
