Résumé : | The synthesis, structural properties, and folding patterns of a series of L-proline methanologues represented by cis- and trans-4,5-methano-L-proline amides and their oligomers are reported as revealed by X-ray crystallography, circular dichroism measurements, and DFT calculations. We disclose the first example of a crystalline tetrameric proline congener to exhibit a polyproline II helical conformation. Experimental evidence of PPII-type helical arrangement (both in solution and in the solid state) of cis-4,5-methano-L-proline oligomers is supported by theoretical calculations reflecting the extent of n→π∗ stabilization of the trans-amide conformation. |
