The synthesis and conformational studies of heterocyclic ureas (amides) 1-7 and their concentration-dependent unfolding to form multiply hydrogen-bonded complexes are described. Ureas 1 and 7 were prepared by reacting 2-aminopyridine and aminonaphthyridine 25, respectively, with triphosgene and 4-(dimethylamino)-pyridine (DMAP). Amine 25, in turn, was synthesized by a Knorr condensation of 2,6-diaminopyridine and 4,6-nonanedione. Heterocyclic ureas 3, 4, and 16 were prepared by treating their corresponding amino precursors with butylisocyanate, whereas bisureido naphthyridines 6 and 17 were prepared by heating 2,7-diamino-1,8-naphthyridine (13) with butylisocyanate and 3,4,5-tridodecyloxyphenyl isocyanate, respectively. The hydrogen-bonding modules 2 and 5 were synthesized by reacting 13 and 2-amino-1,8-naphthyridine with valeric anhydride. X-ray crystallographic analyses were performed on ureas 1, 3, 16, and 17, indicating that these ureas are intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded in the solid state. Moreover, detailed 1H NMR solution studies of 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7 indicate that similar folded structures form in chloroform. In addition, naphthyridinylureas 3 and 7 unfold and dimerize by forming four hydrogen bonds at high concentrations, and ureas 1 and 4 unfold in the presence of their hydrogen-bonding complements, amides 2 and 5, to form Complexes with three and four hydrogen bonds, respectively. Likewise, the mixing of 6 and 7 results in a mutual unfolding and formation of a robust, sheetlike, sextuply hydrogen-bonded complex. The hydrogen-bonding modules described are useful building blocks for self-assembly, and the unfolding process represents a very primitive mimicry of the helix-to-sheet transition shown by peptides and potentially shown by the hypothetical naphthyridinylurea 8.

Interfacial bioconjugation methods are developed for intact liquid emulsion droplets. Complex emulsion droplets having internal hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon immiscible structured phases maintain a dynamic interface for controlled interfacial reactivity. The internal morphological change after binding to biomolecules is readily visualized and detected by light transmission, which provides a platform for the formation of inexpensive and portable bio-sensing assays for enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids and carbohydrates.
