Sumario: | A new family of duplex-forming recognition encoded oligomers, capable of sequence selective duplex formation and template directed synthesis, was developed. Monomers equipped with both amine and aldehyde groups were functionalized with 2-trifluoromethylphenol or phosphine oxide as H-bond recognition units. Duplex formation and assembly properties of homo- and hetero-oligomers were studied by (19)F and (1)H NMR experiments in chloroform. The designed backbone prevents the undesired 1,2-folding allowing sequence-selective duplex formation, and the stability of the antiparallel duplex is 3-fold higher than the parallel arrangement. Dynamic combinatorial chemistry was exploited for the templated synthesis of complementary oligomers, showing that an aniline dimer can template the formation of the complementary imine. The key role of the H-bond recognition confers to the system the ability to discriminate a mutated donor monomer incapable of H-bonding. Sequence selective duplex formation combined with the template effect makes this system an attractive target for further studies. |
