The diastereoisomeric pairs of cyclodipeptides cis- and trans-cyclo(Ala-Ala), cyclo(Ala-Phe), cyclo(Val-Val) and cyclo(Leu-Leu) containing 85% 13C enriched amino-acid residues were synthesized and their 13C-13C coupling constants were measured. The combination of 13C-13C and 1H-1H coupling constants enabled to estimate unequivocally the side chain conformation of the valine and leucine residues.

AbstractPoly(N-acetyl)iminoethylene. poly(N-propionyl)iminoethylene and poly(N-acetyl)-2,2-dimethyliminoethylene were prepared by cationic polymerization in solution of 2-methyl- 2-oxazoline, 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline, and 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-oxazoline respectively. The 13C NMR spectra of the polymers obtained showed different sets of shifts for the carbon atoms of the backbone as well as for the N-acylimino side chain due to the restricted rotation of the Nacylimino group. The temperature dependence of the N-acylimino side chain signals showed a different coalescence behaviour depending on the substituents at both the main and the side chain.
