N ‐Glycyl‐(1 R ,3 S )‐1‐( m ‐hydroxybenzyl)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline‐3‐carboxylic acid (Tic) was prepared as a Tyr‐Tic dipeptide mimetic for exploration of its potential as a delta opioid receptor selective ligand. The compound was successfully obtained by a stereoselective synthesis starting from L ‐Tic. In the course of the reactions, unusual peptide bond cleavages were observed under mild conditions, and reaction mechanisms have been proposed. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
