## Abstract C^α^‐Tetrasubstituted α‐amino acids are widely used to design and prepare peptides and peptide mimics with constrained conformations. Subcategories of these compounds are cyclic C^α^‐tetrasubstituted α‐amino acids, in which both α‐substituents are covalently connected. This survey prese
The lipophilic, chiral, C h -methylated h-amino acid L-(h Me)Aoc (2-methyl-2-amino-octanoic acid) was prepared using a chemo-enzymatic approach. Two series of terminally protected model peptides, from dimer through to hexamer, containing L-(h Me)Aoc in combination with either Gly or Aib, were synthe
A series of N-and C-protected, monodispersed homo-oligopeptides (to the pentamer level) from the cycloaliphatic C Y -dialkylated glycine 1-aminocyclononane-1-carboxylic acid (Ac W c) and two Ala/Ac W c tripeptides have been synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. The conformational
