Peptide mimetics of thyrotropin‐releasing hormone (TRH) in which the peptide backbone is replaced by cyclohexane were synthesized from the cyclohexenone precursor 7 . The aromatic side chains of the mimetics were derived from the corresponding aldehydes which were attached to the cyclohexenone via the Wittig reagent 8 . The TRH mimetics are active in a mouse model of cognitive performance.
