A new constrained bicyclic alpha-amino acid proline-mimetic was developed. The synthesis was achieved starting from derivatives of the chiral pool, thus allowing to prepare analogues of either L- or D-proline by choosing appropriate stereoisomers of serine and alpha,beta-isopropylidene-glycerol derivatives. The scaffolds were prepared as N-Fmoc-amino acid suitable for solid-phase peptide synthesis. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
