The neurotensin C-terminal hexapeptide, NT(8-13), which has been found to adopt a β-strand-like conformation while bound to the NT1 receptor, was modified by the introduction of conformational constraints. Synthesis of the four stereoisomeric 4.4-spirolac

An efficient synthesis of [4.4]-spirolactam restricted derivatives of the didemnin side chain dipeptide L-Pro-N-Me-D-Leu is described. This methodology involves: (a) peptide coupling of N-Boc-2-allylproline with D-Leu-OBn; (b) OsO4/NaIO4 mediated allyl oxidation and intramolecular cyclization to the corresponding cyclic hemiaminals; and (c) NaBH4 mediated reduction of an intermediate N-acyliminium ion. This synthetic strategy gave significant better results than the previously reported strategies for the synthesis of [4.4]-spirolactam β-turn mimetics.
