[formula: see text] Homooligomers of beta-amino acids (S)-3-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid (PCA) and (S)-nipecotic acid (Nip) were studied by circular dichroism (CD) in methanol. In each series, a profound change in the far-UV CD spectrum was observed from monomer to tetramer, but

[reaction: see text] A new halo-Mannich-type reaction is reported using cyclopropyl carbonyl-derived enolates and sulfonyl-protected imines. Chiral oxazolidinones auxiliaries were found to be effective for completely controlling the stereochemistry of the products. Variations in the oxazolidinone, protecting group, and imine

7-Azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid 11 was prepared in enantiopure form, and its catalytic potential in the direct aldol reaction between acetone and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde was assessed. The bicyclic system was found to be more selective than its monocyclic analogue beta-proline 5b. A comparative

In this paper we describe the synthesis and affinity toward the mu-opioid receptor of some tetrapeptides obtained from endomorphin-1, H-Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH(2) (1), by substituting each amino acid in turn with its homologue. The ability to bind mu-opioid receptors depends on the

A straightforward stereoselective and enantiodivergent cyclization strategy for the construction of γ-lactams is described. The cyclization strategy makes use of chiral malonic esters prepared from enantiomerically enriched monoesters of disubstituted malonic acid. The cyclization occurs with the selective displacement of
