Diastereoselective encapsulation of tartaric acid by a helical aromatic oligoamide.

چکیده
A helical aromatic oligoamide foldamer encapsulates tartaric acid with exceptional affinity, selectivity, and diastereoselectivity. The structure of the complex has been elucidated both in solution by NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray crystallography, making it possible to rationalize the strong effects observed, particularly the role of hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups of tartaric acid and the inner wall of the helically folded capsule, which completely surrounds the guest and insulates it from the solvent.

Polar solvent effects on tartaric acid binding by aromatic oligoamide foldamer capsules.
Aromatic oligoamide sequences able to fold into single helical capsules were functionalized with two types of side chains to make them soluble in various solvents such as chloroform, methanol or water and their propensity to recognize tartaric acid was evaluated. The binding affinities to tartaric acid and binding thermodynamics in different media were investigated by variable temperature (1)H ...
متن کاملSwitching of chiral induction in helical aromatic oligoamides using solid state-solution state equilibrium.
The introduction of an R asymmetric center in an aromatic oligoamide that adopts stable helical conformations leads to a significant shift of the equilibrium between the right-handed and left-handed helices in solution: the R-P and R-M helices are diastereoisomers. However, these two species were found to cocrystallize in 1:1 proportions. Thus the chiral induction observed in solution is switch...
متن کاملDevelopment of an oligoamide coating as a surface mimetic for aromatic polyamide films used in reverse osmosis membranes.
We developed a method for the in situ synthesis of an oligoamide coating on gold. The resultant surface chemical composition, wettability, and chemical nature were comparable to aromatic polyamide films used as reverse osmosis membranes. Hence, the oligoamide wafer may be used in adsorption/fouling studies as a surface mimetic of reverse osmosis membranes.
متن کاملIterative design of a helically folded aromatic oligoamide sequence for the selective encapsulation of fructose.
The ab initio design of synthetic molecular receptors for a specific biomolecular guest remains an elusive objective, particularly for targets such as monosaccharides, which have very close structural analogues. Here we report a powerful approach to produce receptors with very high selectivity for specific monosaccharides and, as a demonstration, we develop a foldamer that selectively encapsula...
متن کاملExpanding the registry of aromatic amide foldamers: folding, photochemistry and assembly using diaza-anthracene units.
The synthesis of various 1,8-diaza-4,5-dialkoxy-2,7-anthracene dicarboxylic acid derivatives and their incorporation into cyclic and helically folded aromatic oligoamides are reported. The ability of the diaza-anthracene monomers to undergo photoaddition or head-to-tail photodimerization was investigated in the solid state and in solution. Quantitative conversion of a monomer diester to the cor...
