Template‐Assembled Synthetic Proteins (TASP). Cyclic Templates with Incorporated Turn‐Inducing Mimics

Abstract
The 8‐amino‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydronaphth‐2‐oic acid (1), 8‐(aminomethyl)‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydronaphth‐2‐oic acid (2), and 8‐(aminomethyl)naphth‐2‐oic acid (3) were synthesized in their protected forms as turn‐inducing dipeptide mimics. Two of them (2 and 3) were incorporated into a novel type of cyclic, peptide‐based structures (see 21 and 34–36) designed as templates for the synthesis of TASP molecules.
