Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) The hydrogen bond rigidified backbones of aromatic oligoamides are temporarily interrupted by replacing the amide hydrogens with the acid-labile 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl (DMB) group, which allows the efficient preparation of long folding oligomers that, upon removal of the DMB groups, fold into multiturn helices.
