β-nitro-α-amino acids as latent α,β-dehydro-α-amino acid residues in peptides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(99)00839-4

Peptides containing α,β-dehydro-α-amino acid residues are readily prepared by incorporating β-nitro-α-amino acids at the corresponding positions, followed by elimination of nitrous acid.
