Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase is the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine. Based on the transition state of the catalysis, and what is known about the structure of the enzyme, a synthetic study has been conducted on an organophosphorous inhibitor which is capable of probing into the stereospecificity of the enzyme. The asymmetric synthesis was initiated with I-proline, and several methods were employed in phosphorylation in order to get the desired product.
