We have efficiently synthesized 36 arylopeptoid dimers with ortho‐, meta‐, and para‐substituted aromatic backbones and tert‐butyl or phenyl side chains. The dimers were synthesized by using a “submonomer method” on solid phase, by applying a simplified common set of reaction conditions. X‐ray crystallographic analysis of two of these dimers disclosed that the tert‐butyl side chain invokes a cis amide conformation with a comparatively more closely packed structure of the surrounding aromatic backbone while the phenyl side chain results in a trans amide conformation with a more open, extended structure of the surrounding aromatic backbone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
