Abstract

Pyrrolidine-2,4-diones have been identified as a novel starting point for the synthesis of peptide analogues. This paper describes a method for the efficient and diastereoselective incorporation of this moiety into peptide chains to furnish di- and tripeptide analogs. The stability of these pyrrolidinone modified di- and tripeptides was found to be markedly improved when compared to that of a natural peptide. In addition, solid phase peptide synthesis employing a pyrrolidinone containing tripeptide is demonstrated.
