Abstract

A thorough experimental and computational study on the conformational properties of (S)-indoline-2-carboxylic acid derivatives has been conducted. Methyl (S)-1-acetylindoline-2-carboxylate, both a mimetic of proline and phenylalanine, shows a remarkable tendency toward the cis amide isomer when dissolved in polar solvents. This behavior is opposite to the general preference of proline for the trans isomer, making indoline-2-carboxylic acid a good candidate for the design of different secondary structures and new materials.

Highlights

  • Conformational diversity is Nature’s way of disclosing important properties; a deeper understanding of the intrinsic conformational order of natural and unnatural amino acids is essential for the rational design of biomimetic compounds

  • They recently developed new soft materials based on L-DOPA,[36,37] a psychoactive analogue of phenylalanine, and in collaboration with them we could spot through chiroptical techniques the elusive π-helix motif attained by oligomers containing pyroglutamic acid,[38] a proline mimetic. (S)-Indoline-2-carboxylic acid ((2S)-Ind) is an interesting case, as it is both a mimetic of L-proline and L-phenylalanine. (2S)-Ind can be considered as the result of the fusion of an aromatic ring to the pyrrolidine bond between C4 and C5 of proline

  • Lattice relaxation time T1 of the two species (T1cis = 2.39 s; T1trans = 2.46 s) we found the approach outlined by Perrin and Dwyer to be convenient.60 2D exchange spectroscopy (EXSY), which provides a map of the exchanging species, was used
