Three new bis(cyclobutane) beta-dipeptides have been synthesized from appropriate derivatives of cis- and trans-2-aminocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid, respectively. The predominance of eight-membered hydrogen-bonded rings has been manifested for (trans,trans)- and (trans,cis)-beta-dipeptides while the formation of six-membered rings is preferred for the (cis,trans)- beta-dipeptide similarly to the previously described (cis,cis)-diastereomer.
