## Abstract In the present paper we describe the synthesis, purification, and single‐crystal x‐ray analysis of the cyclic tetrapeptide __cyclo__‐(L‐Pro‐L‐Phe‐β‐Ala‐β‐Ala). This compound contains the β‐alanyl‐β‐alanine dipeptide as putative cyclization arm to force the remaining dipeptide‐L‐Pro‐L‐Ph

✦ Synopsis
The syntheais, CD, ir spectroscopic, and conformational studies of a series of bridged cyclic peptides of the general formula, q&[NH-(CH,),-CO-Gly-Pro-Y-Gly] (2a-d, Y = Gly or Ser(OBu'), n = 4 or 2) is reported. As indicated by difference nuclear Overhauser enhancement and Fourier transform ir experiments, the tetrapeptide sequence of qch[NH-(CH,),-CO-Gly-Pro-Gly-Gly] (2a) and q&[NH-(CH,),-CO-Gly-F'ro-Gly-Gly] (2b) adopts a 1 + 4 hydrogenbonded type I1 8-turn conformation in solution, while qch[NH-(CH2),-CO-Gly-Pro-Ser(OBut)-Gly] (2c) features a type I 8-turn, fixed by 1 + 4 and 07.. . NH intramolecular H bonds. In aqueous solution 2a and 2c show class B and class C CD spectra, respectively. This is the first case reported of a typical claas C CD pattern in aqueous solution for a conformationally mobile system having a type I 8-turn. Based on the comparison of the band intensities of the bridged models with those of linear and cyclic model systems reported earlier, a set of subspectra with reduced band intensities is suggested for use in the CD analysis of the conformation of polypeptides in solution.
