Abstract

Abstract The effect of gem-dialkyl substituents on the backbone conformations of β-amino acid residues in peptides has been investigated by using four model peptides: Boc-Xxx-β 2, 2 Ac 6 c (1-aminomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid)-NHMe (Xxx= Leu (1), Phe (2); Boc= tert- butyloxycarbonyl) and Boc-Xxx-β 3, 3 Ac 6 c (1-aminocyclohexaneacetic acid)-NHMe (Xxx= Leu (3), Phe (4)). Tetrasubstituted carbon atoms restrict the ranges of stereochemically ...
