Cyclic beta-peptoids

Org Lett. 2008 Mar 6;10(5):921-4. doi: 10.1021/ol7030763. Epub 2008 Feb 6.

Abstract

The first synthesis of functionalized beta-peptoid macrocycles is reported. X-ray crystallographic structure of tetramer 9 reveals a C2-symmetrical derivative with unexpected all-cis-amide bonds and spatial disposition of the appendages toward the two opposite faces of the ring. Quantum calculations suggest that 9 is locked in this layout. These macrocycles constitute novel promising templates for multimeric ligation of biologically active ligands. The concept was exemplified by chemical decoration of tetramer 9 via "click" reactions.
