6. The previously unknown absolute configurations of the two nitrocyclopropylalanine residues as well as the 4-propenylproline moiety in 1 were established by a series of feeding experiments with the appropriate enantiomerically pure deuterium-labeled amino acids. It was additionally confirmed (in the case of 4-propenylproline) by a series of HPLC and HPLC/MS experiments

13. The relatively low yield must be attributed to the noticeable susceptibility of the MOM ester to nucleophilic attack by the free amino group, especially when formation of a diketopiperazine ring is possible.
14. The tetrapeptide 13b can also be used towards the synthesis of various analogues of 1

16. Although several N-MeZ-acylated glycines were prepared as early as in 1951 (cf. D M Channing, P B Turner, G. T. Young, Nature 1951, 167, 487-488), the authors considered that "these compounds appear to offer little advantage over the corresponding carbobenzyloxy compounds"; to the best of our knowledge, the application of p-methylbenzyloxycarbonyl group for peptide synthesis has never been considered again
17. 2O (cf.. E. C. Roos, P Bernabe, H Hiemstra, W. N Speckamp, B Kaptein, W H J Bosten, J Org. Chem 1995, 60, 1733-1740) gave an inseparable mixture of unreacted and transprotected peptides in 34% yield, although with model peptides this technique worked pretty well (90-100% yield of the desirable product)
18. b) The ester bond between the (4-PE)Pro and a-Thr fragments may also be cleaved under strongly acidic (TFMSA in TFA, TMSOTf) conditions

20. d) From the secondary amino group of the (4-PE)Pro residue of the C-TMSE-protected acyclic precursor of the cyclic part of 1
21. e) The rate of cleavage of the conventional Z-protective group was unacceptably slow even in the case of the model ester Z-Thr(OFmocPro)-OMe (incomplete deprotection with 20% thioanisole in TFA in 12 h at ambient temperature).
22. f) The 3-methylbenzyloxycarbonyl and 3,5-dimethylbenzyloxycarbonyl groups were also tested, but turned out to be somewhat less suitable for application in this synthesis

24. a) Chpca-(3-Ncp)Ala-OH was also synthesized, but turned out to be too unstable to be used for condensation with the deprotected 17.
25. [9] reagent unexpectedly caused significant epimerization at the α-carbon of the (3-Ncp)Ala residue in the side chain and gave a separable mixture of epimers (MOM-1 and epi-MOM-1) in moderate yield

27. a) The CD spectra were measured in methanol.
28. b) It is noteworthy that both MOM-1 and epi-MOM-1 were equally active in this test and their activity was about 3 5 times lower than the activity of 1

30. [1d] a mixture of all stereoisomers of 3-methylphenylalanine had been used as a reference). These latest results were in accordance with those obtained before.
