Synthesis of (E)-Olefin Dipeptide Isosteres.-The route involves an ortho ester rearrangement of an allylic alcohol derived from commercially available amino acids as the key step. The procedure provides a simple and efficient methodology for a stereocontrolled synthesis of the title compounds. Product (IX) can be incorporated into a peptide backbone. -(MCKINNEY, J.
