Abstract
The development and the use of fluorinated polyproline-type II (PPII) foldamers are still underexplored. Herein, trifluoromethyl pseudoprolines have been incorporated into polyproline backbones without affecting their PPII helicity. The ability of the trifluoromethyl groups to increase hydrophobicity and to act as 19F NMR probes is demonstrated. Moreover, the enzymatic stability and the non-cytotoxicity of these fluorinated foldamers make them valuable templates for use in medicinal chemistry.
