## Abstract The CD spectra of the peptides Boc‐X‐(Aib‐X)~__n__~‐OMe (__n__ = 1, 2, 3) and Boc‐(Aib‐X)~5~‐OMe, where X = L‐Ala or L‐Val have been examined in several solvents. The X = Ala and Val peptides behave similarly in all solvents, suggesting that the Aib residues dominate the folding prefere
