    Abstract
    As part of continuing efforts to obtain backbone and side chain conformationally constrained, novel amino acids,¹⁻⁷ we have successfully developed the asymmetric synthesis of β-phenyl-substituted cysteine, tryptophan, and serene derivatives. In this approach, the key intermediate, enantiomerically pure 3-phenylaziridine-2-carboxylic ester, was prepared from an α, β-unsaturated ester by employing the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation. The aziridine was treated with 4-methoxybenzylthiol, indole, and acetic acid to give β-phenyl-substituted cysteine, tryptophan, and serine, respectively, in a clean S(N)2 type ring opening at the C3 position. This methodology was readily extended to provide a general approach to the synthesis of optically pure anti- and syn-β-substituted cysteines. We also described an effective means to synthesize 8-phenyl-substituted thiaindolizidinone amino acids through a convergent strategy. β-Phenyl-substituted cysteine benzyl esters were prepared according to our new protocol developed above. The doubly protected glutamic acid gamma-aldehyde was prepared according to a known procedure. The key step was the condensation of the aldehyde with β-phenyl-substituted cysteines to afford novel 8-phenylthiaindolizidinone amino acids as epimers at the bridgehead, which can be readily separated. These novel 8-phenylthiaindolizidinone amino acids, which are constrained β-turn dipeptide mimetics, were incorporated into Leu-enkephalin peptides as a replacement of the dipeptide Gly³-Phe⁴ to afford individual isomers of Leu-enkephalin analogues. The conformationally restricted nature of these analogues rendered them amenable to conformational analysis in solution because they are less subject to dynamic averaging than are more the flexible linear compounds.
