Short alphahelical peptide sequences were stabilized through Glaser‐Hay couplings of propargylated l ‐ and/or d ‐serine residues at positions i and i +7. NMR analysis confirmed a full stabilization of the helical structure when a d ‐Ser (i), l ‐Ser ( i +7) combination was applied. In case two l ‐Ser residues were involved in the cyclization, the helical conformation is disrupted outside the peptide's macrocycle.
