Abstract

The design of a new biomimetic foldamer, relying on the weak amine–carbonyl interaction for secondary structure formation, is presented. The efficient synthesis of a triply protected monomer starting from glycidol was developed. This monomer contains a dioxolane- protected keto group that will allow liberation of the ketone functionality in the backbone once construction of the oligomeric backbone is complete. This monomer contains two ...
