Abstract

The oligomers of constrained cis-exo-beta-norbornene amino acid were synthesised and characterised by extensive NMR, CD, IR and MD studies. The results showed the formation of both right and left handed consecutive 6-membered hydrogen-bonded strands for [2S,3R] and [2R,3S] enantiomers, respectively.
