The first synthesis of carbon-stapled beta(3)-peptides is reported. The precursor beta(3)-peptides, with O-allyl beta-serines located in an i/i+3 relationship, were prepared on solid phase. We show that efficient ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of these new beta(3)-peptides proceeds smoothly either in solution or on an appropriate solid support. All products were generated with high selectivity for the E-isomer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
