Synthesis and structural analysis of dehydrophenylalanine cyclophanes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Sep 7:(17):1938-9. doi: 10.1039/b205752m.

Abstract

The syntheses and structures of three cyclophanes containing two (Z)-dehydrophenylalanine residues are reported; the length of the tethers between the two amino acid residues is easily altered and changing this parameter has a significant effect on the solid state structures of the cyclophanes.
