## Abstract Ferrocene‐containing dipeptides Ac‐Fca‐AA‐OMe (AA = L‐Val, L‐Ile) with the artificial amino acid 1'‐aminoferrocene‐1‐carboxylic acid (Fca) and chiral α‐amino acid building blocks display hydrogen‐bonded structures that result in organised helical ferrocene units in solution, as evidence

✦ Synopsis
The homochiral 3-amino-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-βlactam (ϵ Alm) was conjugated with Boc-Ala to give Ala-Alm (9) after Boc deprotection (Boc = tert-butoxycarbonyl, Ala = alanine). Coupling of Fc-COOH (1) and Boc-Fca (10) with "dipeptide" 9 resulted in the formation of Fc-CO-Ala-Alm ( ) and the trisamide Boc-Fca-Ala-Alm (13), respectively (Fc = ferrocenyl, Fca = 1Ј-aminoferrocene-1-carboxylic acid). The reactions were accomplished by the HOBt/EDC procedure, and the products were obtained in good yields [HOBt = 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, EDC = N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-NЈ-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride]. Symmetrically 1,1Ј-disubstituted "tetrapeptide" Fn(CO-Ala-Alm) 2 (14)
