The tunicate‐associated strain Streptomyces sp. JP90 produces the unprecedented metabolite cinnamoylphosphoramide ( 1 ) among several other compounds. Structure elucidation was accomplished by NMR spectroscopic studies and efficient total synthesis. The absolute configuration at phosphorus was determined by synthesis of both enantiomers of 1 performing a resolution of the corresponding diastereomeric phosphoramides of L ‐phenylalanine ethyl ester. Unusual cinnamic acid derivative 1 represents the first bacterial organophosphoramide. As it matches the Schrader's formula for insecticidal organophosphates, its biological activity was investigated. A weak inhibition of acetylcholinesterase was observed in in vitro tests, and water‐soluble analogues of 1 were prepared. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
