Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Macrocyclic α-ABpeptoids and Their DNA-Encoded Library

The first synthesis of macrocyclic α-ABpeptoids with varying lengths is described. X-ray crystal structures reveal that cyclic trimer displays a chair-like conformation with a cct amide sequence and cyclic tetramer has a saddle-like structure with an uncommon cccc amide arrangement. The creation of a DNA-encoded combinatorial library of macrocyclic α-ABpeptoids is described.
