Introduction It is known that 1 3-oxazole derivatives are reactive compounds and can be converted to other five- and six-membered In addition 1 3-oxazoles are unstable in an acidic medium and are cleaved by a water molecule to form acyclic 12 In the case of 4-functionalized 5-amino-1 3-oxazoles this leads to formation of compounds of peptide nature. Particular attention is drawn to the derivatives of 5-amino-1 3-oxazol-4-ylphosphonic acids which under conditions of acidic cleavage form peptidomimetics containing the residues of phosphorylated High biological activity of phosphorus-containing peptides is known. For example selective inhibitors of
