The design, synthesis, and structural analysis of a new foldamer that mimics an extended beta-sheet are presented. The nonpeptidic mimetic is based on a series of 2,2-disubstituted-indolin-3-one groups linked through their 4,7-positions by an alkyne spacer. An intramolecular hydrogen bond between the carbonyl of one indolinone subunit and the proximal NH of another subunit imposes a conformation that mimics the side chain positioning on a beta-strand. X-ray crystallographic studies support the p ...[more]
