The idea of retropeptides originates from the fact that peptides and proteins, like other biopolymers, have a direction and therefore are inherently non-palindromic. The sense of direction conventionally proceeds from the amino terminus (which is written on the left, see Figure 1) to the carboxy terminus (written on the right).

The stereochemistry of 5a, major diastereomer derived from D-Ala-OMe la, was determined by chemical correlation with 3a after cleavage of the oxazolidinone auxiliary.
