Nearly isosteric oxo to thioxo substitution was employed to interrogate the structure of foldamers with a urea backbone and explore the relationship between helical folding and hydrogen-bonding interactions. A series of oligomers with urea bonds substituted by thiourea bonds at discrete or all positions in the sequence have been prepared and their folding propensity was studied by using a combination of spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction. The outcome of oxo to thioxo replacements on the helical folding was found to depend on whether central or terminal ureas were modified. The canonical helix geometry was not affected upon insertion of thioureas close to the negative end of the helix dipole, whereas thioureas close to the positive pole were found to increase the terminal flexibility and cause helix fraying. Perturbation was amplified when a selenourea was incorporated instead, leading to a structure that is only partly folded.

A practical synthesis of thiourea-linked peptidomimetics, glycosylated amino acids, and neoglycoconjugates is described employing bis(benzotriazolyl) methanethione as thiocarbonylating reagent. The entire protocol is mild, efficient, high-yielding, and free from hazardous reagents. All the intermediates and products have been isolated and fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectrometry. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart ? New York.
