Abstract

A tandem macro-dimerization reaction via a Cu(I) catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition reaction has been employed to construct triazole/urea based peptidomimetic macrocycles considered as pseudocyclo-β-peptides. Introduction of one particular chirality in the peptide backbone can alter the conformation as well as nature of self-assembly from cyclic d-,l-,α- peptide to cyclo-β-peptide. One of them (16a) forms antiparallel dimers while the other (16b) undergoes higher order aggregation to form a nanorod structure.
