Abstract
Olefin metathesis has been successfully applied to the synthesis of macrocyclic helical peptides [Eq. (a)]. Carbon-carbon bond tethers between amino acid side chains were introduced by ring-closing metathesis. This macrocyclization protocol is a novel and mild procedure for introducing nonnative covalent cross-links into peptide helices. © 1998 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, Weinheim, Fed.
