We have recently reported the synthesis of enantiomerically pure CF 3-oxazolidine pseudoprolines (CF3-ΨPro). Complete NMR studies, together with DFT calculations, have highlighted the marked stereoelectronic effects of the CF3 group on these new proline surrogates. In this paper, we describe for the first time the conformational features of dipeptides incorporating one CF3-ΨPro residue. Extensive NMR analyses have been carried out in solution and revealed the presence of a stable type-VI β-turn in a pseudotetrapeptide sequence.

The peptide coupling reactions allowing the incorporation of trifluoromethyl substituted oxazolidine-type pseudoprolines (CF 3-ΨPro) into peptide chains have been studied. While standard protocols can be used for the peptide coupling reaction at the C-terminal position of the CF3-ΨPro, acid chloride activation has to be used for the peptide coupling reaction at the N-terminal position to overcome the decrease of nucleophilicity of the CF3-ΨPro. We demonstrate that the N-amidification of a diastereomeric mixture of CF3-ΨPro using Fmoc-protected amino acid chloride without base gave the corresponding dipeptides as a single diastereomer (6 examples). The ratio of the cis and trans amide bond conformers was determined by NMR study, highlighting the role of the Xaa side chains in the control of the peptide backbone conformation. Finally a tripeptide bearing a central CF3-ΨPro has been successfully synthesized.

Trifluoromethyl group containing oxazolidines (Fox) are conveniently synthesized by condensation of serine esters with trifluoroacetaldehyde hemiacetal or trifluoroacetone. These oxazolidines can undergo N-acylation and amidification reactions and are com
