Abstract

Improved methodologies are provided to synthesize (1R, 2S)-2-aminocyclobutane-1- carboxylic acid derivatives and their incorporation into β-peptides of 2–8 residues bearing different N-protecting groups. The conformational analysis of these oligomers has been carried out by using experimental techniques along with theoretical calculations. This study shows that these oligomers adopt preferentially a strand-type conformation in solution ...
