α-Alkyl β-amino esters are available in high diastereoselectivity through a silicon-free Claisen enolate [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of enamide esters. Optimisation studies have probed the crucial role of the initial enolisation and the nature of the enamide N-centre. The demonstration of chirality

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

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
The enzyme EC 3.4.24.15 (EP 24.15) is a zinc metalloendopeptidase whose precise function in vivo remains unknown but is thought to participate in the regulated metabolism of a number of specific neuropeptides. The lack of stable and selective inhibitors has

We previously described a novel endomorphin-1 analogue (Tyr-L-beta-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH(2); Endo1-beta-Pro) more resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis than endomorphin-1 that acts as a mu-opioid receptor agonist. In this study we report that Endo1-beta-Pro, s.c. injected in the mouse, is an effective antinociceptive agent
