An efficient method has been developed for the solution and liquid phase syntheses of a biopolymer mimetic consisting of “α-aza-amino acids” linked in a repetitive manner to form what we term an azatide oligomer. To construct this biopolymer mimetic, three stages of research were pursued as follows:(1) development of general synthetic procedures that allowed the synthesis of a wide variety of Boc-protected aza-amino acid monomers,(2) ...
