In some cases, helical peptides stabilized by an i, i + 7 tether exhibit better target binding and cellular functions compared to their i, i + 4 analogues. Herein, we carried out a systematic study of the effects of an in-tether chiral center on the i, i + 7 system. We screened the optimal cross linking mode, tether length, in-tether chiral center positions, and absolute configurations. From these studies, we determined that a chiral center of R absolute configuration at the γ-position to the C-terminal of a 10-membered tether could function to efficiently induce helicity of the backbone peptides. This is an important addition to the current i, i + 4 in-tether chiral center induced helicity strategy (CIH strategy), and could have broad biological applications.

Carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions of putative α-carbonyl carbocation intermediates generated by Lewis acid- or silver-promoted ionizations of toluenesulfonate or halide leaving groups are described. This under-exploited mode of reactivity represents an 'umpolung' of conventional enolate chemistry, and enables C-C bond construction in both intra- and intermolecular contexts. Attempts to develop diastereoselective variants of this process using chiral ester and oxazolidinone-based auxiliaries are discussed.
Stereospecific syntheses of 2-alkyl and 2-phenyl substituted 3-(2,6-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acids

Stereospecific syntheses of 2-methyl-, 2-ethyl-, 2-cyclohexyland 2-phenyl- substituted 3-(2,6-dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acids were developed. The key steps for the formation of the stereogenic centers involved the utilization of Evans' 4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone chiral auxiliary. These compounds were designed to replace the N-terminal tyrosine residue in opioid peptides.
