✦ Synopsis
All four optically pure isomers of the highly conformationally constrained novel chimeric amino acid, ~-isopropylphenylalanine or ~-phenylleucine, were asymmetrically synthesized in five to six steps in 20 -25% overall yield. Computer-assisted molecular modeling revealed that the ~-isopropyl group in these chimeric amino acids plays the dominant role in determining the most favorable side chain conformations.
