Abstract

To study whether C 2 symmetric oligoureas form secondary structures such as sheets and helices/turns to serve as peptidomimetics, conformations of oligoureas composed of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane and 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-diaminoethane were investigated using X-ray diffraction, UV, CD and NMR spectroscopic methods. Alternating heterochiral diamines in these chains strongly favored helical conformations. The conformations of C 2 -symmetric chains of homochiral diamines were more conditional, giving indications of conditional extended and helical structure.
