An approach to the synthesis of 3-phenyl-5-vinyl substituted prolines starting from readily available 2,3-disubstituted pentenoic acid derivatives is reported. The route converts the pentenoic acid derived starting materials into cyclic N-acyliminium ion precursors with the use of a hydroboration-Swern oxidation sequence. This overall transformation worked best when the initial alkylborane product was treated sequentially with excess MCPBA and then acetone prior to the Swern oxidation. In this way, a 70% yield of the desired N-acyliminium ion precursor could be obtained. Once in hand, the cyclic N-acyliminium ion precursor was used to make the desired 3-phenyl-5-vinyl substituted prolines.
Conformational probes for elucidating the nature of substance P binding to the NK1 receptor: Initial efforts to map the Phe7-Phe8 region

Three substance P analogs with conformation constraints in the Phe7- Phe8 region have been prepared in connection with an effort to differentiate two families of potential conformations for the binding of substance P to its NK1
