✦ Synopsis
The synthesis of a series of novel amino acids and peptides containing an aziridine ring is described. Their preparation is based on the Gabriel-CromweU reaction of amino acids or peptides with different 2-bromo acrylates and acrylamides. These products are constituted by a turned scaffold (the aziridine) where two parallel peptidic strands can be grown to produce a I]-sheet mimetic.
