The relationship between the molecular structure of peptidomimetics 1 and their chiroptical properties has been studied using circular dichroism spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that the sign of the Cotton effects occurring around 230 and 270 nm enables the direct assignment of stereochemistry at C-1 and C-3 carbon atoms. The TD-DFT calculations of the circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of one of the model compounds confirm the absolute stereochemistry assignment made experimentally. Thus, CD spectroscopy proved to be a simple, reliable and general tool for the determination of the absolute configuration of the stereogenic centers of peptidomimetics with a terminal 3-arylpropionic group.
