A novel route for the synthesis of cyclic peptides constrained by an aliphatic bridge between two C(alpha)sites, using a triply orthogonal protecting group strategy, is described. The synthesis of the orthogonally protected bis-amino acid 1, via an enantioselective route utilizing the Schöllkopf and Evans methodologies, is first described. This is then incorporated into a short, alanine-rich peptide 13, using a novel triply orthogonal protecting group strategy to couple first one, then the other, amino acid moiety in such a way that an aliphatic bridge is formed between the i and i + 4 positions. Unexpectedly, the resulting constrained peptide does not adopt a helical conformation: instead, it is shown by CD at low temperature to adopt a left-handed type II beta-turn conformation in aqueous media and a right-handed type I beta-turn conformation in TFE.
