The preparation of a number of N-alkylated proline derivatives which bear hydrogen bond donors in both the carboxyamide side chain and the N-substituent is described. Oxidation with m-CPBA gives homochiral amine oxides where the amine oxide configuration is determined by the proline side chain NH group. The amine oxides are stabilized by the presence of two intramolecular hydrogen bonds. These initial results have been extended to the preparation of homochiral tripeptide like molecules.
