摘要

All four optically pure isomers of the highly conformationally constrained novel chimeric amino acid, β-isopropylphenylalanine or β-phenylleucine, were asymmetrically synthesized in five to six steps in 20–25% overall yield. Computer-assisted molecular modeling revealed that the β-isopropyl group in these chimeric amino acids plays the dominant role in determining the most favorable side chain conformations.
