Here, we report the first synthesis of quasi-stable trimer models of full-length Aβ40 with a toxic conformation using a 1,3,5-phenyltris-l-alanyl linker at position 34, 36, or 38. The only trimer to exhibit weak neurotoxicity against SH-SY5Y cells was the one which was linked at position 38. This suggests that such a propeller-type trimer model is not prone to forming oligomers with potent neurotoxicity, which is in contrast with its corresponding dimer model.

Two derivatives of phenyltrisalanine, a new, trifunctional amino acid, were synthesised in optically active forms. Two complementary techniques were employed, an HWE olefination reaction or a Heck coupling reaction, and the resulting dehydroamino acids were hydrogenated using a chiral Rh(I)-Et- DuPHOS catalyst. Phenyltrisalanine derivatives of excellent stereoisomeric purities were thus obtained.
