Subsequent chemical degradation through acid catalysed conversion into 5, oxidative cleavage to the diketone 13, BF3∙OEt2 mediated ring closure by aldol reaction and catalytic hydrogenation gave 14. For both experiments a full

Chemical degradation of chitin promoted by acid treatment [222][223][224][225][226][227][228] or using chitinases and chitosanases [229][230][231] generates mixtures of short

The semicarbazide constraints tend to facilitate interactions with protein receptors due to turn geometry within the azapeptide. As a result, their stability over enzymes and chemical degradation may be enhanced
