Sequence-defined polymers show promise for biomimetics, self-assembly, catalysis, and information storage, wherein the primary structure begets complex chemical processes. Here we report the solution-phase and the high-yielding solid-phase syntheses of discrete oligourethanes and methods for their self-immolative sequencing, resulting in rapid and robust characterization of this class of oligomers and polymers, without the use of MS/MS. Crucial to the sequencing is the inherent reactivity of the terminal alcohol to "unzip" the oligomers, in a controlled and iterative fashion, releasing each monomer as a 2-oxazolidinone. By monitoring the self-immolation reaction via LC/MS, an applied algorithm rapidly produces the sequence of the oligourethane. Not only does this process provide characterization of structurally complex molecules, it works as a reader of molecular information.

N,N′-linked oligoureas are a class of enantiopure, sequence-defined peptidomimetic oligomers without amino acids that form well-defined and predictable helical structures akin to the peptide α-helix. Oligourea-based foldamers combine a number of features—such as synthetic accessibility, sequence modularity, and folding fidelity—that bode well for their use in a range of applications from medicinal chemistry to catalysis. Moreover, it was recently recognized that this synthetic helical backbone can be combined with regular peptides to generate helically folded peptide-oligourea hybrids that display additional features in terms of helix mimicry and protein-surface recognition properties. Here we provide detailed protocols for the preparation of requested monomers and for the synthesis and purification of homo-oligoureas and peptide-oligourea hybrids.
