Significance

Cyclopeptides are key moieties widely present in a number of bioactive products, including some with clinical applications. The authors developed ring-closing metathesis in α-helical stapled peptides.


#

Comment

The ring-closing metatheses of α-helical stapled peptides containing leucine or valine residues proceeded in moderate to high yields, generally in an E-selective manner.
