(Chemical Equation Presented) We have recently shown that members of a new class of β-peptides, containing 2,2-disubstituted pyrrolidine-4-carboxylic acid residues, display discrete conformational preferences despite the impossibility of internal hydrogen bonding (Huck et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 9035). Here we describe the synthesis of a variety of 2,2-disubstituted pyrrolidine-4-carboxylic derivatives that bear a diverse set of side chains and protecting groups suitable for oligomer synthesis. In addition, we discuss coupling methods for construction of oligomers in solution and on solid phase. Non-hydrogen bonded foldamers such as those generated from 2,2-disubstituted pyrrolidine-4-carboxylic acids may be useful in biomedical applications because the low intrinsic polarity of their backbones may promote bioavailability.
