title: Taking control of P1, P1' and double bond stereochemistry in the synthesis of Phe-Phe (E)-alkene amide isostere dipeptidomimetics.
abstract: A protocol for the stereocontrolled independent preparation of both C-2 epimers of Phe-Phe trans-vinyl amide isostere dipeptidomimetics has been devised based on a Wittig-type reaction, in which two chiral building blocks were joined with excellent E-selectivity to give compounds of the type PhePsi[(E)-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH]-PheOH.
